A VEXcode IQ project for use with VEX IQ Competition (VIQC) Virtual Skills can be loaded and saved in a few ways.
Load an Existing Project
Load an existing project by selecting “Load From Your Device” from the File menu.
Use the Windows interface to navigate and load your existing project with a .iqblocksskills or .iqpythonskills file extension.
Rename a Project
To rename a project, select the project name box.
Enter the project name, and select “Rename.”
Save Using the File Menu
Open the File menu and select “Save To Your Device.”
The file will be downloaded. Select and open “File Explorer.”
Inside "File Explorer," you can see your Downloads folder. Select the Downloads folder to open it.
In the Downloads folder, you'll see a file with a .iqblocksskills or .iqpythonskills extension. This means your project has been successfully saved.
Common Issue when Loading/Saving
A common issue when using VEXcode IQ project files is trying to select the .iqblocksskills or .iqpythonskills file to be opened directly by the operating system.
If you try to open a VEXcode IQ project file by double clicking it, nothing will open.
All VEXcode IQ project files can ONLY be opened within the web-based version of VEXcode IQ. See the ‘Load an Existing Project’ section from this article for more information.
