Creating a New Blocks Project in VEXcode IQ – VEX Library

A new Blocks project opens any time you start VEXcode IQ. But, you can also open a new Blocks or Text project after VEXcode IQ has already started.

Note: when starting a new project, a prompt will appear asking you to save if the current project has not been saved yet.
