I just did some editing in the tempo map, (opened in the Multidock), and the Smart Tool does not appear to function.  The Hud would not open and I had to go to the main menu to change tools.  Is this the intended behavior?  If not, what am I doing wrong?
 
Thanks.

The Smart tool auto-reverts to the Draw pencil when Tempo View is opened in my Multi-Dock here. I can select the Erase tool, etc from the HUD and they all work as expected. I am guessing only, that this is the intended behavior. Not sure why the HUD wouldn't open at all for you - If it matters, I have my HUD on my Control Bar which is floating below the Multidock, on my primary monitor (dual screens).

Thanks Brando.
 
Yes, the default tool is the Draw Pencil tool.  If the HUD would open I'd be set.  I keep the MultiDock open on my second monitor and just tab through the various views.  I generally open the HUD by clicking the wheel button.
 

It is probably a valid thought but what would you want to use the other tools for in the Tempo view, just asking out of interest.

Well, in this case I wanted to use the 'Straight Line' Pencil tool.  It's not a deal breaker by any stretch.  I was just curious why the HUD would not open.

That is a perfectly good reason for wanting to open the HUD perhaps the tempo view has not received any reworking since the X days because if I remember correctly these tools were available from the tempo view tool bar in the pre X days or is my furry mind deceiving me. 
 
PS Just tested in SONAR 8.5(x) and the tools are in the tempo view tool bar.

Try shortcut T, I believe it should work anywhere. Wheel-Click is not always bound to the HUD. The Tempo view appears to be one of those areas.

No T does not work either Scook

The Tempo view does affect shortcuts in an odd way. You may notice after immediately opening the Tempo view, T works nowhere. Click anywhere else in SONAR and T works everywhere again. Click in the Tempo view and it is disabled again.
 
Edit: I just noticed T and SHIFT+T are bound to Tempo Properties and Tempo List respectively.

Thanks Scook.  I'll try that.
