c74/max/Patcher/How To/Drag Bang or another object to another position

• I find it unintuitive to move objects like c74/max/obj/bang or a message box around in Max/MSP.
• things to check:
  • one must drag ONLY THE BORDER of the object
    • with small objects like Bang, it can be hard to hover over the border. Consider zooming in and out with Cmd+ and Cmd- and scrolling into view (AFAIK there is no "grab canvas" feature in max; scrolling is the only way.)
  • are you in presentation mode? if so, you can't move anything there. Toggle with #Keyshort cmd+alt+E
  • is the patcher in Lock state? Check the lock button in the lower left.
