Drag and Drop Options dialog

If you right-click in the Clips pane and choose Drag and Drop Options from the pop-up menu, the Drag and Drop dialog box appears, which you use to control how clips behave when you drag them.

The Drag and Drop dialog box has the following fields:

Copy Entire Clips as Linked Clips

Choosing this option means that when you copy an entire clip and paste it, the new clip is a linked clip with the clip that you copied it from.

What to do with existing material

The fields in this section deal with the situation that occurs when you try to drag some data to a place in a track that already has some data.

Blend Old and New. Choosing this option tells SONAR to mix the new data with the old, with the following option:

Replace Old with New. Choosing this option tells SONAR to delete the old data, with the following option:

Delete Whole Measures. Choosing this option tells SONAR to delete the old data up to the next measure line, regardless of whether the new data fills the space up to the next measure.

Ask This Every Time

Choosing this option causes the Drag and Drop Options dialog box to open every time you drag some data.
