I was working on my patches, arranging and aligning objects.

I use a lot of copy-paste from help patches and other patches, and I guess I'm not the only one...lol

Align to Grid, in the Arrange Menu. That would save us a lot of time.

A cool option to add to Max:

align-to-grid-isnt-this-a-cool-option

It is a good idea, and it's already implemented!

There is also "Show Grid" and "Grid Size", which allows one to change the size of the grid.

The only objects that are aligned to the grid are the ones that are created after the "Snap to Grid" option activated, and the ones we move since then.

For the old objects to snap to the grid, one haves to move each one, until every object is aligned to the grid.

The idea was to make a shortcut to prevent all this work.

You can set snap to grid and show grid as global patcher defaults.

I know that, but that doesn't make all the previous objects to align to the grid.

fwiw, i understand your request perfectly, and think it is a good idea. but who knows...

In the max5 preferences, I've set the grid size to 5. 5. and snap to grid, show grid as the default for every patcher.

So now when I encapsulate, everything is automatically aligned, I guess because the grid size is so small.

Align to grid - isn't this a cool option?
