A really stupid question about panning the screen offset

[hesspet]

Hello!

Don`t laught! I run in a serious problem. Due to an accidental move a patch was moved out of the screen. But how to center the patch back to its origin? Maybe I've tomatos on my eyes, id did not found anything in the documentation, but what's the shortcut to center a patch in the patch view.

I solved it in a untraditional way and patched in the workspace file the values offsetx/offsety back to 0 and reloaded the workspace.

I'm sure that there is a better solution available.

Looks that there is no keyboard shortcut documented.

Thanks, for helping a one eyed person.

BTW: It was our cat who plays with her tail on my optical touchscreen. I don't know how she did it, but the offset x was around -3500

There's no key shortcut for this, but you can click on any visible object of your patch and use the "find in patch " command in the menu

doesn't help if it's not visible. And good luck finding it if it's 3500 off your 1200x700 monitor. You could scroll all day. I've ruined a couple of patches this way, never could find the object to bring it back in range. I didn't think of hesspet's clever solution!

A FR I thought of recently is a list view for patches..... something to think about.

As woodslanding wrote: it was a "non" visible situation, cause I only had math and event handling nodes inside the patch. Next time I'll add a button somewhere as workaround. (or I should kill the cat) (nor really)

From day one I voted for something every 3D software has:
A shortcut for "Zoom to everything", which basically zooms to a bounding box around every node in your patch. Simple to implement and efficient for such situations.

Cheers,

Yipp!

+1 -> that would help perfect!

I have a situation where all my buttons have been neatly arranged in sub-patches, so I can 'Find in patch' to inside them. But now I can't find these sub-patches in their parent sub-patch

Even copying and pasting to a new patch doesn't bring back visibility. I tried hesspet's solution but it does seem to be working. I'm using the latest release on OS X.

Okay I was able to recover by saving the sub-patches individually and then creating a new sub-patch. Whew!
