How exciting ! I recently updated my computer and haven’t been able to load blockbase as I don’t know where the CD is – so a new blockbase will be awesome !!

When you’re in EQ can you access the Block Base designs? Or do they have to work independently?

I also have the earlier version of Block Base. How different will the new version be?
Is it compatible with EQ8. I just upgraded.
