"Snap to Grid" in Preferences -> Patching

GGM's icon

Hi,

I'd like Max to boot up with "Snap to Grid" on by default - and "Snap to Objects" off.

It seems that there is no way to do this... is there?

Cheers

Create a new blank patcher.
Open the inspector and click on the P at the top of the Inspector window.
Scroll all the way down the options list and you find the two options you are looking for.
Change the settings as required.
Save the empty patcher as a template and select load as default for new patchers.

For existing patchers, just do steps 2 to 4.

Thanks Andy! It never occurred to me to use the "template" route.

Thanks for this. It helped me as well.
