reusing max objects

[dusted]

Hello,

I created some Max patches in Max for live that I want to use in multiple places in a patch. However I can't get it to work. This is what I've done:

1. Saved the file to disk in the Max 8 projects folder
2. Added the projects folder to my library
3. Tried to type 'p "patchname"' but it creates a new instance of a subpatch, doesn't find saved subpatches in project.
4. Tried to drag the patch from explorer but it opens in normal max with saving disabled.

Is there anything I can do to reuse the code?

Thanks

You’re talking about abstractions, not objects.
Put their names in the box, without the “p”.

Thanks for the reply. That was very helpful!

I was able to find the links to where abstractions are in tutorial and the manual:
