I like to use groups for some instruments, especially drums and then mix them from a single fader. For instance I group the bottom and top SD channels to a single mono fader. I also group the toms and OHs. On the N12 I would send the BD to CH1, the SD group to CH2, the Toms to CH 9/10 and the OHs to CH 11/12. I can do this on the N12 but I can't use the Work Mode buttons for this or it screws up my "group" routings when I switch back and forth.
I'll have to use a different way of working. This means I basically won't be using the hardware mode unless I re-do all the routing in Cubase manually. Too bad. It would be great if Cubase could remember output settings as a preset so you could reconfigure the mixer and it's outputs to the N12 for tracking and then for mixing. Or if it could have a programmable preset routing that responded to the "ST MIX" command and another for the "HARDWARE MIX"command. I'm pretty sure this would be a software and not a hardware feature.
If I'm totally missing some feature in Cubase 4.5.2 or the N12 mixer that does this please let me know. I'd be very happy to know about it.

I myself never use the hardware/stereo mix buttons for exactly this reason - the mix button automatically matches the cubase tracks to the same numbered N12 channel which, for me, messes up my routing. I begin a session with the multi-channel template and then rout the outputs as i go along - vocal on N12 channel 1, drum submix on N12 channel 9/10 etc. I track on a free channel or one that i don't need to hear and then once its recorded i rout it to where i want it to go.
i think what you need to do is set up a dummy project with the routing you want and then save it as a cubase template. the hardware mix button is a very blunt instrument which you do't need to use unless you hurriedly want your cubase tracks to match the N12 in order of number.
