[maxmsp] Re: max 5 new patcher preferences, grid and more

Remember, you can also change the size of the grid. Default is 15x15, but I've found that 10x10 works well also.

As I make patches in Max 5 I always seem to have snap-to-grid on as I begin, but toward the end of the patch I turn it off when I need to squeeze stuff in and make minor graphical and sequential adjustments.

I think a good way to use the grid is to measure the length of the object box which will change depending on the font you're using and set up the grid to be that size, so boxes fit snuggly.
