1.  On one project there's an incidence of PLAY 5.1 that every time I try to delete the track it crashes splat
2.  when it crashes Splat tends stay resident in memory so that it can't be opened again (or I have to manually disengage the sPLAT.exe)
3.  I have several old control surface profiles and every time I try to delete a profile splat crashes.
4.  I need to delete 1 measure in the middle of an entire piece.  why is this so difficult?  I did the delete special, I checked delete hole and it didn't work.  
5. Is there a way to regulate how sensitive the cntrl-drag copy is?  I keep accidentally copying clips.
6.  randomly cntrl-drag copy doesn't work!
7. is there a way to make all inputs to *no inputs* with a single click?
 
 
 

4. To close a hole with delete special, you need a clip to be deleted for each track that has more clips to the right. At best, create a new midi clip with one note that spans the full range to delete.
7. Select the tracks, keep control key pressed and select "no input" for one of the selected tracks. (Pressing control works for most features to apply them to all selected tracks at once.)

Hi. If SONAR stays in memory, it is often the audio driver that doesn't let go, keeping SONAR "active".
As to CS's, try unplugging the device you are going to delete the profile for.
I believe Ctrl + drag copy sensitivity is snap related.
Select all (Ctrl+A), Ctrl click on an input and select none to make all inputs go to none.
All the best.

Thank you!  ralf...wish it were different, but you're right.  Why can't we just choose the measures and zap them away.  Am I asking too much? :D:D

Thank you zarrg.  The control surface is long gone.  I just want to delete the profile, but I can't.  I guess I'll live with it.:D:D

Quick question - you mentioned the "Control Surface is long gone" - did you mean the definition of it, or the actual device?
 
I don't actually have any control surfaces that I use, for several years now, because even though my upper midi controller has 8 faders and a bunch of pads and knobs and transport controls, it is too far of a reach to be comfortable, so I just quit using them a long while ago and use the mouse or key bindings.
 
I did just take a quick look in Preferences, and under Preferences>MIDI>Control Surfaces, there is a red X that allows you to delete a defined control surface.  Have you done that?
 
Also - it appears that default Control Surfaces are stored in: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Surfaces, so maybe you could remove the one you want to do away with there?

Also - if you opened the project that blows up when trying to remove a track assigned to Play, in Sonar's Safe Mode, would you be able to skip loading Play during the Safe Mode plugin load/skip dialog, and then delete the track then?  (loading all other plugins other than Play, so that after deletion of the track and a save you wouldn't lose anything else).
 
OR, prior to deletion of the track that causes your crash of Sonar, what if you first changed the ASSIGNMENT to no longer point to Play, and THEN try the deletion?
 
Just some thoughts,

BOB!  Thanks for helping me.  The red x on the control surface is what, when pushed (trying to delete the control surface) crashes SPLAT.  Long gone means that I'm not using a control surface (like you).
 
I've tried loading SPLAT in safe mode, and deleting the track to no avail.

I've run into that problem of crashing when I tried to delete a track that had an invalid pointer to a virtual instrument.
IIRC, this was how I got around it: 
1. Re-route the track to a different instrument
2. Save the project and close SONAR
3. Re-open the project, remove the bad instrument via the synth rack
4. Delete the track

I'm sure I used to do this in Sonar Producer 8.5.  Seems a strange ability to remove.
