I'm importing blocks from an EQ5 project and got an "unreadable notecard" message. What do I do?
This is most likely caused by a drawing error in the block or something weird in the notecard.
When you open the EQ5 Sketchbook to the Blocks section, it will say so many of X blocks
(ex. 1 of 20).
When you import in EQ6 and get that message, there will be fewer blocks.
So, let's say you have 14 blocks in EQ6 and 20 blocks in EQ5 when you view the project. This means the block with the problem is number 15.
Open the project in EQ5 and edit block 15. You may get a pop-up like this:
If there are open patches, you can find them by hovering over all the nodes in the drawing
with the Edit tool 
.
Close the patch and save the new block in the Sketchbook 
.
Edit the new block again to make sure you got all the open patches.
If there are no open patches, delete the old block 15, save the project, and try opening/importing from the project in EQ6 again.
