I love throwing number boxes everywhere, but would love to get rid of them once I've finished building and debugging the patches and subpatches. Is there a way to perform a FIND for specific types of max elements, such as number boxes, objects, messages etc. so that the Find would highlight all of them?

Just a passing thought:

unlock your patch, press command-f on mac, type-in what you are looking for ("number" in your case).

you can select all, previous or next, but be careful when deleting, it looks for every object which contains the typed expression, including named sub-patcher, message boxes and more.

Thank you very much! I didn't realise it worked for number boxes as well. How strange I hadn't thought to try it first...
