Is it just me, or anyone else have the same issue?   I really don't like the way the "console view" presents some items in my X3 Studio... especially the "Sends" modules.  Why couldn't they show all the Sends for each strip listed in an open window, like they do for the FX module?  What am I missing here as a noob? This seems sorta prehistoric unless I'm mixed up as to how to view it or something... you have to click on an arrow to scroll to the next Send bus. Goofy. There's all this empty space that seems to be wasted above the gain nobs...
Another thought... why not list the implemented Prochannel FX in the same window as the other FX ? Display them a little differently or whatever, but in the same window. Why do you have to again click on an arrow to see what is implemented?  
Again, noob here, but this seems real old school to me. I'm not sure, have never used other DAW's, but watching other videos with Reaper and Protools, it seems they are displaying plugins/sends as I'd like to see them, in plain view at all times.  

Pro Channel modules/FX are listed separately as they can only be used in the Pro channel.
 
There is the ability to show two sends at one time which is limiting, if you can afford it go for the upgrade each send is displayed as you add it in the latest version.

Hi. This (send modules) has been updated in the new SONAR 2015.
It is all just different ways of doing things, from DAW to DAW.
Watch some youtube videos of SONAR, and you will suddenly get "the SONAR" way
Best of luck.

I don't know where you're looking but in Comsole view you can see an unlimited number of fx and sends. The vertical boxes just get taller as you put more of each in.

Pro Channel is a seperate set of fx totally seperate from the normal fx box and has its own plugins which can only be used there. The beauty of it is that it can be made to disappear unlike an fx box.

You will also get more detail per channel strip depending on which widgets you have selected to see and whether or not the strip is in wide or narrow mode. You have a lot of flexibility in how you can see things depending on your choices for any given activity. At the left of the track pane is an Inspector pane where you can examine in detail any selected track/bus and its associated bus and ProChannel without having to open a console strip. Maybe what you really need is a little more familiarity with the myriad possibilities before you lock yourself out of usefull options that you haven't yet discovered.

On the other hand maybe Sonar isn't the DAW for you and another one may suit you better. I warn you though if too many choices in Sonar has you concerned wait till you spend some time with Reaper.

Which upgrade ?  I have Studio X3e right now.

No, I have a maximum of 2 sends viewable in console view. The vertical boxes don't get taller, you have to scroll. 

Sorry, I'm just getting going, and maybe Sonar isn't my ideal platform, but can't afford to switch horses now. 
The Send display in the Track View is great, you get a listing of all sends, simple, very compact, clear and concise, why couldn't they just use that same setup in a window in the Console View? 
And it just doesn't make any sense to have the Prochannel stuff "disappear" in the Console view...  doesn't it make you wonder what you have set up in there sometimes, and you have to take the extra step just to view it?  
Also, in Track View, any Prochannel stuff you have engaged doesn't appear in the FX window like all the other plugins... you have to go look for it... this is just a plain mistake to me..., added work. 
Anyways, my 2 cents, I'd like to see all sends and plugins in plain view at all times.

It's actually the lack of choices in the Console View that has me bummed out...  sorry...

Upgrade from SONAR X3e Studio to either Artist or Professional, (There is Platinum as well but that is the flagship version)  Do not forget you can pay for it monthly now.  (But you must pay for the full 12 months to get to keep it)
