Bus tracks in arrange window

How to see bus tracks in arrange which I create in the enviromnment window? It was easy in Logic7 now I can't find anything about it in the manual and the method from pre L8 doesn't work...

If you have the automatic channel strip organisation turned on (Song prefs->Audio) as soon as you assign somthin to a Bus or send something to it it will show up in your mixer. You can then use the option in the mixer menue "create Arrange track for selected object" (don´t know the exact term in your english menue, mine is in german). The Bus will then show up in the Arrange.

It helped, thanks. And it works perfectly, thank you!

However it's a workaround for my problem - a second ago I created a bus track in the environment and a corresponding track appeared in arrange... I don't know how yet but I'll experiment with it. And more, after one bus is created in the arrange you can create a second bus with the well known keycommand shift ctrlreturn or duplicate the exixting one with shift+return. So I understand the situation as a bug or an oversight - if the app allow us to create another track of the same kind why doesn't it allow us to create a first one?

Thanks 🙂 I encountered the problem during creation of my own template. Your observations are helpful.

So there are several answers to my question (that's why I like Logic - one task, many ways to achieve a result)


[EDIT - the following trick sometimes works and sometimes doesn't 😟 ]
In my opinion the best one is to go to environment, create a new bus track, change it to audio track (it appears automaticaly in arrange), then change it back to a bus track. I found the solution experimenting with changing a track type in arrange.
