Is there a way to change the position of an object in a patcher (in presentation mode)?. To be more clear, I want to move an object by 2 sliders with I presume 2 line objects (x coordinate and y coordinate)...

send message like this to thispatcher object

script send obj1 presentation_rect $1 $2 100 100

script move and script offset messages don't work in presentation mode.

you can use scripting to do this.

script send obj1 presentation_rect $1 $2 100 100

obj1 is scripting name of the object
$1 $2 coordinates, 100 100 object size.

Don't know about max 8 , but in max 6 
script move and script offset messages don't work in presentation mode.
Maybe they do in Max 8 ?


no idea why everyone uses presentation mode anyway.


no, moving doesnt work.

I don't, need stuff to work, not to make presentations.

presentation mode - where presentation is more difficult than in patching mode.

You can use the rectangle attributes without any scripting.

A good point, I really don't know why I mentioned scripting at all in first place ???

Maybe bare mention of presentation mode frightened me
