setting the zoom factor for a patcher

Hi folks,
I have a simple question about something that I used to know how to do but apparently forgot.
How do you set the zoom factor on a patcher upon opening? I'd like some of my clunky patchers to open up at 75% instead of 100%. Thanks!

Searched for "Zoom" on this forum and found how to do that (first result hit):

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

I believe it's not officially supported, but many people have used it.

have a look here, it has also link to original thread:

zoomfactor message is not not really usefull,
because it moves patcher objects without offset compensation.
