Should max remember the last used edit mode. I seem to be always turning grid and snap to grid back on. Is there a way to make it remember?

Agreed. It would be great if I could always have objects just stay on the grid. I don't even want the ability to go off the grid because it looks messy and is distracting.

Create a patcher, configure it as you like.

Name the template, activate checkbox "Default for New Patchers", save.

Close the patcher, open a new patcher. You should have your new default settings.

Right-click in the patcher window and select "Inspector window". In the paragraph "Editing" you see "Subpatcher Template" where your template should be listed and already selected. If you select another template from this list, the next subpatcher(s) will be set accordingly.

You can set the default template in Max preferences:

Main Menu > Preferences > Basic > Files and Folders > Default Patcher Template.

Just be aware that it only works for new patchers.

On a Mac, templates are stored as Max files in
