Default "Compressing" automation breakpoints

Is there similar command to "compress" automation data like DP's Change Continuous Data?

Example: I receive OMF from editor who has used +12dB volume automation in many places and I don't want faders to go above +0dB. In DP I can use Change Continuous Data to limit (only) high volume breakpoints, so that CCD only affects to volume automation above the chosen level (e.g. +0dB).
How to do this in Pro Tools?

Hi,

Not exactly what you want but volume trim can be used to either pull the overall volume down so the faders don't go above +0db or it can even be used to push the volume so high it will level out when it hits the ceiling.

Ok. Thanks. ..and bummer. This (CCD) is very usefull and fast way to adjust automation data. Avid should really copy some features from Motu :)

Thanks, that could be a workaround. Currently I have Native 10 and there's no Convert Automation to Clip Gain.
I was hoping to get CPTK PT 11 (because I already have all the hardware I need), but it seems that 11 won't have that option. So my trip to PT might not even start (for a real work). Don't know yet.. There are some advantages in PT, but it lacks many functions I daily use (also HD version). If I could get CPTK v.11 (and 12 etc), I would definitely buy it.
