I am sorry if am mistaking but I cannot find any reference in the manual as to how one resizes an abstraction to the size one wants.
 
Every abstraction keeps resizing itself to 200 - 140. I then change the dimensions and save it but the next time I open the patch
it si back to 200 - 140 again. I tried to edit it in the .pd file in a textaditor but that did not work either.
