Tools for Drawing Automation Data

automation events. If you click with any of these tools on the automation track, R is activated
automatically.
Object Selection
If you click on an automation track with the Object Selection tool, an automation event is
added. If you hold down Alt, you can draw several automation events.

Events that are introduced between existing events and do not deviate from the existing
curve are removed as soon as you release the mouse button.
To activate the Line tool in any other available mode, click the Line tool and click again to open a
pop-up menu where you can select the Line tool mode.
The following Line tool modes are available:
Line
If you click on the automation track and drag with the Line tool in Line mode, you

The result depends on the direction from which you draw the parabolic curve.
