Poly object reload
I currently have a patch that as a sub patch defined in a poly object. One of the pains is that when I make a change in the poly patch I have to close and re-open the main patch to get the changes (and due to the fact the audio stops working). Is there a work around for reloading the sub patch in the main patch without closing and re-opening the main file?
Say your object is [poly~ patchname 256] - to force a reload, double click the object, add another space between patchname and '256' (IE: [poly~ patchname 256]) and max will both remove the extra space, and reload the poly from the patcher file.

It should load automatically, and does it for me. Only when changing
number of ins/outs, I have to reload. I ususally delete followed by an
undo...
I do see stopping audio on loading bigger patches as well. This could
make it into a bug report, though I never had the time to find the exact
circumstance. It seems audio will not be switched on again, if the
loading process exceeds a certain time...

Just to clarify, I believe poly's automatically reload in max 5. In max 4 however, I know they don't. Not sure which version you're using, Ed.
I am using Max 5 ... the issue was two-fold
1.) changing the number of inlets on the poly object, which it sound like there is no work around for, I thought maybe there was a menu item I wasn't aware of or something, I was changing the name and using undo to accomplish that.
2.) the audio not working after making a change to the poly object. I can verify this happens without breaking the patch and a reload of the main patcher is required.
All in all, not that big of an issue really, I just wasn't sure if there was a command I was unaware of for refreshing objects.
I am on max 4.6 , so i am not sure about how things are done in version 5 , however similarly to Mushoo's suggestion , you can make a copy of the poly and then paste replace the original .
cheers

In Max 4 they always did load for me, just if you change the number of
ins/outs, you'd have to reinstantiate, as in Max 5...
