In 8.5 the check box for "Ask Every Time" does not appear to be in the "Copy" or "Paste" dialog. It is however in the options.

Options > Global > Editing Tab
If you set all your options here, then remove the check for "Ask every time" it will use the settings that you entered without question.

I'm with some of the others. I like having the dialog come up so I can review before dropping! But the option is there to get rid of it.
 
EDIT w/UPDATE: I have never turned off the "Ask Every Time" box in 8.5 before so I tried it. It doesn't do anything! It still continues to ask on "copy" and "paste" for everything. Interesting :)

I'm not at my DAW, but the reason I quoted from the ref guide for 8.x is because Sonar HAS to ask you IF there is existing data in the timeline where copied data will be pasted to.   That's just logical.
 
The drag & drop options play a role there too (and you can turn off the 'ask' there as well).
 
 

It should just put the file where you tell it (without confirmation) just like every other DAW does.  Like codamedia just realized-- that option he mentioned does not remove the dialog (in 8.5 anyway).

This entire copy/paste has never been an issue with me since it worked the way I wanted it to, but I can see the frustration. The "Ask Every Time" in 8.5 appears to be for the "drag / drop" not the paste. It does work for that.
 
X1 works the same way, but now the default for "CTL V" is a simple paste without dialog. CTL > ALT > V does it the old way! All good for me, I'll love the quick method when I have confidence in where I am dropping the copy, but still have quick access to the way I am used to.
 
Love it!

there is no reason for you to continue to waste bandwidth telling us whatever Sonar does is perfect and you love it. The fact is that C/P in Sonar is way to complicated and doesn't work as it should. The good news is that if Cake fixed it, you would still love it because Sonar did it and I could love it because it works properly.

Ya know, it's one thing to disagree or use something a different way ... but what's wrong with others stating what works for them and what they like?   Why is that less valid than you making your points?

Nothing in most cases, but in this case the facts are the facts. We know he loves Sonar and it is perfect. It is a valid opinion, but it really never helps a conversation for it to be repeated over and over. If people didn't think there was a problem, we would bother to discuss it, because we know what happens here when someone says something in Sonar might not be as good as it could be.

Many people reiterate around here, and I think that is somewhat normal as there can be multiple conversations going on so a point made in one thread may need to be reiterated in another thread just because the content is related.
 
After all, you reiterate often the things you don't like.  So I don't really see why one position is more valid than the other.
 
But I doubt this will change anything just by pointing that out to you

How do things get fixed if they are not talked about? Talking about perfect doesn't make things more perfect. I never said one position was more valid than another, just that one is a waste of bandwidth because it can produce no further action.

In general I agree that forums serve a good purpose by allowing for the discussion of problems.   To decide what is a waste of bandwidth seems a bit harsh and judgemental for no purpose.
 
I'm not jealous of those who really like X1 and think it's great.  As you probably know, I'm not using it now (after weeks of heavily using it) until there are some bug fixes.  But I don't resent those who have a different feeling/use for it.  Why should I mind if someone feels good about the tool they are using?
 
As for bandwidth -- is there some limit you would like to see imposed on people ?   You do have the option to skip a message or ignore a user... that is your choice.   But to make a comment about another person wasting bandwidth is truly judgemental, in my opinion.
 
I think it'd be more productive if we just debate the issues (good or bad) and not make judgements on each other.
 
I'm guilty of it at times too, but I try to remind myself after I do so that it's not a good thing and tell myself to do better next time.
 
I don't think you waste bandwidth by ****ing about what you don't like -- and I don't think anyone in this thread is wasting bandwidth stating what they like.   Even if they overstate it, it's not helpful to judge them in such a way -- or you.  Debate, sure.  Discuss, sure.  Have opposing views, sure.   But there's no harm being done when it's done in a civil way.
 
I guess I just don't get that judgemental approach.  And when I do it, I would hope someone calls me out on it too.
 
But you be you -- I'll be me.  And the world will be what it is, I suppose.

So my opinion is only valid if I keep it to myself? This was not a post about loving Sonar X1 - it was a post about liking the 2 options for Cut/Paste. Sorry it offended you so much!
 
I'm sorry if you find C/P so complicated and that I don't. It's not a case of "I'm right / your wrong" or vice-versa! It's simply a difference of workflow and opinion! Let's just agree to disagree and move on!

And I've re-hotkeyed the default command in X1 to bring up the "Paste Special" dialog...cause I likes it that way;-)
