Dynamically changing the bpm

Hi guys,
 
sorry if I ask a stupid n00b-question, but I have been looking for 2 hours now, and couldn't find a solution to my problem.
I would like to change the bpm in  Sonar x3 during the song.
I am working on a tribal-song, that starts out with 90 bpm, will do a slow transition to 180 bpm, stay there for some time and will finally go down to 90 bpm once more. The transitions should be spread linearly (or better logarhythmatically) over a defined period of time. Is something like that possible?
I am using Kontakt and the drumsamples in Kontakt will adapt to the bpm-values they receive from Sonar, so the bpm-adaption should take place within the sonar-project.
 
Love,
Inja.

    From the "Views" menu select Tempo.  you get a nice graph of tempo against time.  draw the tempo you want on it.

    O.K. I've tried
    Project > Insert Series of Tempos
    and that works great.
     
    BUT, I've also tried
    drawing tempo changes graphically in the Tempo view.
    And that doesn't have any effect. I can draw the the curve, but it doesn't have any effect on the bpm?
    Anything I forgot to do?

    Did you follow the instructions in the tempo view link?

    Yes, I think so - at least I read it twice ;-)
    1) I start a project
    2) I add some midi at e.g. 70 bpm
    3) Views/tempo opens the graph
    4) I draw in it
    5) I press play and the bpm remains the same..?
