Adjusting multiple Automation Lanes

 
Im wondering if anyone knows how to adjust multiple track lanes at one time.
 
Does anyone know how to set the Automation Lane height in Cakewalk.INI ?
Im not sure about you guys, but my lanes default (open up) to this 1 inch sliver.
Its tiny and I cant possibly do any pinpoint node surgery.
 
The real problem arises when I have to open 30 separate tracks (Automation) lanes and have to adjust each and every one of them one at a time. (from their default 1 inch height to a more generous 3 inches)
 
Thanks

    I don't want to bump this too much or spam you guys with my problems,
    im just hoping someone with some knowledge of the Sonar Cakewalk.ini file might be able to help me with the default lane size issue.
     
    Thanks again

    Okay so it appears 60+ people have viewed this thread and no one knows the answer.
    I can respect that, so what about a different method ?
     
    Does anyone know how to change multiple tracks lane sizes ?

    I have an answer... Quick group the automation lanes that you want bigger, then hold shift and drag one lane to resize. All the other selected lanes resize too.

    Are you sure? Changing one lane changes all lanes for an individual track (you don't need quick grouping for that) but I think Chuck wants to be able to expand ALL lanes on all tracks, which I don't think is possible.

    The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!

    This would be a good feature to have, Chuck!

    exactly, Quick grouping doesn't work for that. I wish it did.
    I have found one other way by selecting tracks/ holding CTRL+SHIFT and DOWN ARROW.
     
    This expands the size of every track (and conveniently their respective lanes)
    However later I am left with huge size tracks that I then need to quick group and "Re Size".
    Doesn't sound like much, but when you work in 5 track blocks, this can become time consuming.
    I just wish I knew of a way to be able to quick group the lane sizes.
