My UI element is not being recognized

Hi all,

I'm looking to create an automation for a 3D modeling software. Currently, when I add the UI elements, they are added however, within my flow when commanded to interact with the UI element, nothing happens.

Here is an example:
I want to it to click this button using "Click UI element in window"

This is my first day on this program so I hope this happening due to my ignorance rather than program limitations.
I tried running as admin, it didn't work.
My theory is that this may be happening because the UI element was create from a "Window" that is the same file however, not the file when the application was launched through the flow. So the UI element and the newly launched application are not "linked".

I was able to make something work with image recognition and moving the mouse but, it does not feel as elegant as I would like.

Has anybody run into this issue?

If clicking is not possible see if that button can be triggered via any shortcut key (which generally can be) and then you can use Sendkeys from PAD.

That's a great idea to simplify many steps.

I did more testing and realize it's not about the program but all UI elements. I don't think it is recognizing any thing at all.
I've tried click up element to window. Nothing happened. I'm wondering if there steps I skipping such as identifying the window or moving my mouse to the UI element.
