I think you have to make sure that you have Copy Automation selected in the Copy dialog and then again make sure you have Paste Automation selected in the paste dialog. Trying using right click > Copy Special then right click > Paste Special to view all the various options.

I never did this in X1 though and I've barely done it in X2.

Automaton is only half developed in Sonar IMO.

Yeah... actually I don't even think you need to use Copy/Paste Special. Just right click > Edit > Copy and it'll give you a list of things to copy. Using just the Keyboard commands doesn't seem to bring up that dialog... but I may have an option turned off somewhere.

I want to copy and paste but sonar does CUT and paste. It copied and paste one before but dont know what I did... it doesnt copy paste, it just cuts and paste...

Depends on what you are trying to do. There were issues with copy/paste in X1 that were never fixed.

Well how exactly are you doing it? Select the clip by clicking it > right click on the clip > select Edit in the menu > Copy. Is it grayed out or something?

Beepster, I know what u mean, that box appears even with keyboard commands, and I select just "automation" (not clips, etc), and it cuts and paste instead of copy paste?
Maybe Im missing something because a few hours ago i dont know what the hell i did but it just copies and paste simply and correctly... I´m lost with this

I dont have the clip, it´s just the automation of the audio channel of a midi synth

I select the audio track and the bar. Copy the automation from bar1 and want to paste it into bar2... thats all.
when i paste the automation in bar2, the first bar has no automation at all.

I must be missing something, i dont think its a sonar issue
