Not able to drag or drag copy clips anymore in X2
Hi everyone,
Somehow, after practicing with automation envelopes, I no longer can drag or drag copy clips in Sonar X2's track view. I inserted a volume automation envelope in a track of a project and after playing with the envelope shape I closed that project and opened a different one. In the 2nd project I tried to drag copy a clip and the drag action is ignored. I am not sure if the issue is related at all with automation. Sonar is in SmartGrid (SnapTo) mode. Any suggestions are deeply appreciated. Thanks,
Robert

Sounds to me like the edit filter might be on "Automation". Change it to clips. It's found in the track header or probably easier by pressing T which will show the HUD.

FBB,
The edit filter is set to Clips and still the problem remains. Thanks.

Do you have the smart tool selected? Press F5 or select it from the tool menu.
Have you locked the clip? There should be a padlock in the corner if you have but you can double check by selecting a clip and pressing shift + I which will open the clip inspector where you can see the lock status.
Have you closed and restarted Sonar? That can sometimes fix the occasional quirky behaviour.

FBB,
Yes, the smart tool is selected. The Clip's Lock field is set to Off. I've restarted Sonar a few times and the behavior remains. BTW, this feature was working before.
Thanks,
Robert

I'm a bit stumped. Can you let us know the steps you are taking and what you expect to happen so I can fully understand where you are clicking in the clip etc.
To move a clip in X2 you'll need to click in the clip header at the top of a clip.
Is it all clips on all tracks in all projects?

FBB,
I've been doing this since I got X2. I left-click on the clip's header and drag to move the clip or ctrl-drag to copy it. Yes, I can open different projects and the behavior is the same. I am stumped too. Thanks.

Does the clip respond at all to a left click? ie. does it become selected?

I also noticed that if I select a group of clips and try to drag (or drag-copy), as soon as I move the mouse, all clips are deselected except the one under the mouse cursor.

I'm really scratching my head here........
What happens if you switch snap off? Still the same?

I'm sorry but I haven't got a clue. A few more questions though...
Is it affecting MIDI clips, audio clips, both?
What about newly created clips?
Will they cut and paste?
What about moving a clip with the event inspector? (Select a clip and the enter a new start time in the event inspector's "Time" field.
I'm begining to wonder if your install has become corrupt in some way. Is the rest of the program working as expected?
Perhaps a fresh brain will drop in on this thread with some more ideas or something I haven't thought of. Where are you Bob Bone?

It is affecting both.
What about newly created clips?
I tried that and it fails when creating a new clip on the same track. I also added a new synth track and same behavior.

Yes, copy/paste and cut/paste works.
What about moving a clip with the event inspector?
This works too.
Thanks a lot for your help.

No worries, I hate to be beaten but I'm close to conceding defeat. I'm beginning to wonder whether a call to tech support might be needed.
I really can't think of any setting that would cause that other than the stuff you've already checked.
Have you tried changing tools to say the move tool (F7) and see if that makes a difference?

Yes, I tried the Move tool and it fails to drag too. I'll call tech support tomorrow. Thanks again for your help.

No worries. If you ever get it sorted post up and let us know the solution so I can file that one into my memory bank for future reference.
It's certainly very bizarre but may turn out to be something really obvious that neither of us have thought of.

After restarting the system (Windows 7 64) drag and drag copy now work.

I've had similar weird issues with the now time, zooming and just what you described a few moments ago...

Glad you're sorted. The good old reboot fixes 99% of all known problems.

Does it happen with all clips? I'm having an issue with some sample clips where I drag and drop at say measure 16 and they end up at measure 80 or somewhere way down the track. I usually edit the start time in the inspector but at first I thought they weren't dropping until I found them down there.
Maybe not your issue because this is with a 3rd party sample , while all of
My browser clips behavior has been fine.
