Nevermind! The solution was obvious: create a receive object in each subpatch & send the draw message to all of them at once after they are created.

I'm experimenting with dynamic patch creation and GEM and I would like to be able to send a "draw line" message to objects in thousands of subpatches.
I came across this, which mentions sending a "click" message, apparently to coordinates within the subpatch: http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2009/cdm/Saturday/18_Zmoelnig/zmoelnig_pdreflectio...
But for message that was created at the location 100 100, for example, I would expect that sending the message "click 101 101 0 0 0" (not sure what the five floats represent exactly) would represent a click within the message object. But it doesn't mean that, apparently, because it hasn't worked yet.
Please help me understand the click message syntax.
Thanks,
