Fast Reports tools do not appear on tool palette

0

I'm using Delphi-XE8 in a project that requires the creation of forms from DB (FireDac) data, before my team used the Delphi-XE4 version, which used the external Rave Reports from Nevrona, but it is not compatible with the version we will use (XE8), so it has been decided that we will use the Fast Reports Embarcadero component, which has the same function as Rave.

The problem is that I'm developing the project and when I create a Unit , the Fast Reports tools do not appear in the tool palette, I've already checked that the component is installed (via Project> Options > Packages ) and it really is, but I can not access your tools.

The weirdest thing is that when I create a new project and then a new Unit, these tools appear in the tool palette, I can not solve the problem. The project was created in Delphi XE8 as well as the new one.

Fast Reports 5.0 works only for VCL projects, they do not work on Firemonkey multi platform, as was the case with this project specifically, so it's no use installing the component, as the tool palette shows only what is relevant and can be used in the project, these tools will not appear.

The alternative I found was to install the FMX patch B9 version of Fast Reports , it is more limited, but works for projects like this.
