Newbie question: is there an easy way to simultaneously copy a patch and its presentation-mode layout to reuse/duplicate 

? Right now I try to copy from one view, and the other view gets quite messy. I can fix this by hand, but thought I'd poll your collective wisdom since my initial googling efforts turned up squat. :)

Hello, I'm not sure I understand your goal. Nonetheless, the attached shows an example using thispatcher and bpatch to create multiple iterations of a single patch within a parent patcher. The bpatch opens in presentation mode.

To check it out put both files in the users/documents/Max folder, start (or restart) Max, and open "bpatch-top.maxpat".

In addition the bpatch and thispatcher help files are useful, as are these Max Tutorials:

Hope it helps!


So I realized my mistake, which was quite simple...I'm posting it here in case any one else runs into this issue. I had some panels and text that were only for the presentation mode, and I had moved them off to the side to get them out of the way in the patching view. When I was copying and pasting from the patching view, I neglected to copy them. Doh. :-) Thanks again for your reply, though, John.
