Add selected area to another layer

Hello,
does anyone know what function you can use to add selected faces to another existing layer? Areas were selected via Select Layer By Location.

Thank you

David

Save the selection to a featureclass, then append or merge it to the destination featureclass, in order to provide the necessary field types checks

append to an existing file or use merge to create a new one.

Try not to do a shortcut on the process in order to maintain the attribute integrity

Thanks for the reply.

How do I create a FeatureClass from a selected Feature?

If you right click the layer that you've selected features from, you can go to Selection > Make Layer from Selected Features.
