Derive a template from a running trace

1. If necessary, switch to the window that contains the trace.

2. On the File menu, point to Save As, and then select Trace Template.

If you select an existing template file, you're asked if you want to overwrite the file. You can only select a user-defined template. Predefined system trace templates can't be overwritten.
