Copying automation in arrange?

How do you copy the automation on one section of track to another section of same track?. I have a clip with automation and I copy the clip but the automation is not there... I swear I used to just copy the clip and it would be there.

Also I find when I use the edit menu to copy events and paste it later in the track, the rest of the tracks data is erased, even if I choose merge, anyone know why?

Thanks

That's exactly what I was trying to figure out yesterday. You the only way I found to do is to record the part with automation in the Arranger. You can increase the temo to speed up the process. You think there be a simple way to do something like this. But this is Akai...

If you or someone know how please post it here.

I am trying to take it from one part of the arranger to another on the same track. I want the exact same part with automation later on in the track. Clips should copy the automation... I wonder if you can record from the timeline into a clip with automation?

Instead of copy did you try Duplicate?
They need a more sophisticated way to handle this. It's like they want us to perform the automation live for each part...

Damn that just give me an idea that it would be cool to quantize just the automation data... Or can it do that already?
