Hi Saulos and Welcome

Have you upgraded from version 2 or is this a new install?

Have you got any of the pre-installed blocks in the Library browser - look in system files folder (in library browser) -is there any thing there at all , like a small selection of blocks?

Or are you asking how to create and save blocks to the library?

Regards

Clive

Hi Clive,
I installed the demo version to test the product, then I decided to buy it and I used the AppCleaner to remove the demo.
At this point I installed the regular version and I find that the library is empty as opposed to the demo version where I have see many different object .

Thanks for the quick answer ;)

Try uninstalling/clean up/ then reinstall to a different directory.

Did you re-install the entire program to a different directory?

SOLVED
Thanks a lot for your help :D
It was very simple indeed :)
I had to open the library preference and delete the wrong reference, then close and reopen it and it recreated all the references ;)

Have a good weekend my friend !
