When converting CC MIDI data to automation in SONAR, be aware that you may be giving up resolution.  SONAR appears to only output CC values from track automation at an approx. rate of 24 parts per quarter note.  In many cases 24 PPQ is adequate, but possibly not for controls that may exhibit zipper effects or when the slope of the MIDI data is very steep.
 
The follow examples demonstrate the effect.
 
Image #1:  Original CC#1 data hand drawn in the PRV Controller lanes.
 
 
Image #2:  Same CC#1 data converted to track automation.

 
Image #3:  Track automation recorded into another track using loop back recording.  Notice the reduction in CC density between 4:03 and 5:02.

thank you everyone good stuff.
 
One little add on question.  What if I want to simply COPY the MIDI CC data and paste it (or loop it) through the track, but DO NOT want to copy MIDI notes?  Just the CC movements.  Is this possible?

Thank You,

Absolutely! 
1.  Select the clip that contains the CC data.
2.  Use the Edit > Select > By Filter... menu option.
3.  Clear the Event Filter dialog using the None button.
4.  Click the Control checkbox and edit the Min/Max CC# and the Min/Max Value fields as required.
5.  Click OK.
6.  Now you are ready to use Copy (Ctrl+C) and you can Paste wherever you like.

I also want to say you can use The Smart Tool in PRV.
Right-click your mouse and shade over the data.
Then hold Shift and Ctrl keys on your keyboard.
Position the Smart Tool over the dot and then drag.
