Line(draw) tool doesn't do anything. Where can I use it for?
It's a long mystery that exist since first SonarX1.
Cakewalk emailed me that this is not normal and it's a bug!
The Line Tool doesn't draw anything! Everything works(draw) fine EXCEPT Line Tool!!
Plz Help me guys what am I missing!?

Hi, your English is fine. It is MUCH bettyer than my Korean :) Please tell us where you are trying to draw a line - volume envelope? Audio or MIDI clip? Give us some for information, and then we can try to help you.
Sonar X2 Producer. Focusrite Saffire 6, Fender Strat, black PC for recording and mixing. That is all.

From the reference guide page 430: "The Line tool does not work on audio clips, MIDI clips or AudioSnap transients."
no explanation why this would be the case though - all the other drawing tools work as expected on automation in e.g. an audio clip

Hi! Thank you so much! It seems you are learning Korean huh?? I'm learning English haha Line draw tool only works in Piano Roll view. However it doesn't draw anything in both audio and midi track's any envelope automation parameter. Is it normal? Is Everyone experiencing the same problem what I have? Or is it just me?

Thanks Simon for saving me. It's a pity that Line draw tool is not work on clips. I expected it would work because I can use line draw tool in Protools. I wish Sonar could do that too. on next upgrade Anyway, Thank you so muuch

I'm not sure if the Line tool has other uses, but it is good for drawing linear crescendos and decrescendos in the PRV Controller Pane. Using the Freehand tool completely follows mouse movement, so any unsteadiness is reflected in the velocity "curve".
As far an envelopes go, they're aleady lines (by default) so I guess it doesn't makes sense to use the Line tool?

That's correct. Envelopes are already straight line segments by default, which is why the Line tool does not work with them. Scott -- Scott R.

Apart from the fact that all the other tools do their stuff from any point between the 2 end nodes without you having to insert a node, so the logical use of the line tool would be to insert e.g. a linear fade towards the end of a clip. Not a big deal, just an inconsistency - being offered use of a tool that doesn't do anything

It is possible to draw a sequence of midi controller values freehand, but not a straight line. This is really not the same thing as an envelope. Would be much better if the line tool would work on this.
A sine, triangle, square and "random" drawing tool works for this, but not straight line.
