Making templates from previous projects ?????

Hi,
 
How do I make a template without keeping all the MIDI and automation data?  It's an endless task of removing all the automation data.
 
Regards,

    I know it seems like a pain in rear, but for some people this feature is a blessing.
    However, I am not one of those people who think it is a blessing .
    But we have to respect others ways of working just like they would us.
     
    What I do is delete all the content by selecting - right click lasso.
    Then press delete special. Then save the template as a different name. Incase something happens you want to be able to load your original project.
    There's nothing worse than deleting all your tracks and then accidentally saving it as a project instead of a template.
     
    That's why im not a fan of this. I would like to see (probably like you) a fail safe way to save templates that doesn't include projects.
    There is debate though that project templates were never made to be used like that.
    I typically set up my templates from scratch.

    Select all tracks (ctrl+a) and go to edit --> delete special and tick the boxes of the data you want to delete.

    In case ctrl*a doesn't select all the data, you can also select the range that you want to delete in the timeline.
    To do this: go to the beginning of the project(w). Press ctrl+a. Go to the end and hold down shift while clicking on the timeline.

    Create the template from a copy of the project then there's no danger of what you may or may not lose.

    After you work out a system it's really not that arduous a task.

    This is another good method. (making a copy of the project).
    I would just like to see an option added or even just lose the data included in templates.
    You can always copy the project anyway, so (Like the OP) I don't understand why project templates insist on saving the audio and midi content along with the template.
     Because it is some what of a PIA. As I said in my previous post, I tend to create project templates from scratch but a few times I have used an existing project to create a template and its somewhat bizarre I need to remove all the track data first.

    Never knew that function existed. 🙂 Seems to be the easiest way to erase the track data

    I forgot that was there. I thought they took that out after X3.
    Is it still there ? it would be in the -Track view > Tracks menu.

    Yep, still there:
     
    To wipe tracks
    1.
    Select the tracks you want to wipe.

    2.
    Click the Track view Tracks menu and choose Wipe Track(s).

    SONAR deletes all clips and events from the selected tracks, but leaves the track properties intact.
