X1 and edit filters: Only one envelope at a time?

I am pretty new to X1 and have only been doing a small amount of mixing in X1. This afternoon I was getting started on mixing a pretty involved mix and found that I could only show one envelope at a time. Is that how it is? It's a bit long handed to have to "turn on" each  envelope I want to change. Is there a way to show all envelopes in a track?

Another thing I'm missing is that I used to be able to highlight a section of the timeline, right click an envelope and add nodes to the selection. How does that work now because manually placing four nodes is also a bit long handed.

Please be patient with me because I am so far behind this version of sonar. Most of it has gone down pretty easily but envelope. I do try to read the manual when I can but in the middle of a session I am usually going to just "get it done" even if it's the long way around. Now that I'm home I don't have a computer with x1 installed so I can't read the help file.

Thanks.

    Have a look at this video for an overview, some tips on changing edit filter quickly and also how to add nodes at selection which is now super, super quick.

    Currently there's no way to have more than one envelope at a time active.

    Thanks. One day I'll have to sit and watch all your videos. Too busy lately to sit still long enough which is good but it's a bit like taking a trip without a proper map.

    Yeah, one envelope at a time. More than a little silly, isn't it? I don't care what anyone else says, there's are no tips that make editing (and precisely seeing) multiple envelopes as easy as it used to be. Dumbed down for the masses I guess.

    On the other hand, BikerBoy is right... adding nodes for a selection is super quick now. Although I have found that too much of the "super quick add nodes" method causes weird automation envelope display problems sometimes... where nodes and envelopes are indicated in a way that they actually don't exist.

    If I am not mistaken, it is simply a <shift><click> over the envelope activates it.  I am not at my DAW so I can't test it.  But that seems really simple to me.  I like the new method.  The envelopes are so easy to grab and deal with.

    ...And if all envelopes could be active at the same time the smart tool would be unuseable.
