2D tools + Unity new UI system. Could it be combined ?

Hello everyone!

I am getting acquainting with 2D in Unity. For the first glance nothing new in comparison with 3D. I have already acquainted with new UI system. However some guys told me that new UI is for UI, and if I want to develop 2D game I will probably have to use 2D tools from Unity and new UI for the UI stuff. I tried to combine them, but confronted with misunderstanding… From the one side I see that new UI system is built with anchoring system and their elements could be aligned and scaled using that system. From the other side I see that 2D stuff(not new UI) haven’t that features… So I can’t mix these 2 technologies to create a 2D game, correct ?

Thank you!

I don’t quite get it…
R u asking if we an use the UI Elements in a 2D project?

If so, yes… yes we can… don’t see any problems here.
