Hello list, this is just a curiosity of mine

When we create [pd test] we can send messages to pd-test, so if i send
[;pd-test vis 1] it will show up.

But if i create an abstraction "test",
[; test vis 1] doesn't work, i am assuming that i need to put a namecanvas
there, but, is it possible to access it without namecanvas?

yes.

you can use "pd-<abstractionname>.pd" (e.g. "pd-test.pd").

however, i would strongly discourage you from doing so: all instances of the same abstraction have that name, so they will all become visible. use [namecanvas] to give your abstraction a unique label, or iemguts' [sendcanvas] which doesn't require a label at all.

for subpatches, you can easily create unique names, e.g. [pd $0-foo]


as a further question, a cloned abstraction also could be accessed without
namecanvas? even just the first instance

this is covered in the helppatch of [clone].
