Notice the .v5cpp file extension after the file name. VEXcode V5 C++ files will have this file extension.

Note: Whenever there is an unsaved project VEXcode V5 will prompt users to save their work if the user attempts to:

  • Close VEXcode V5
  • Create a new project
  • Open another project

You can also use the ‘Save As’ option from the File menu to make a copy of a project under a different name or in a different location.
