Has this functionality changed? I found this after getting frustrated as Brian did because when I use layer > Data > Export Features I get the Feature Class to Feature Class GP tool. I can't find any option/environment setting on it to use 'only selected features' which was a really annoyance when suddenly exporting 2M features instead of one.
Yes, I can change to the Copy Features tool which does honour selections by default. However this is not the same as what ArcMap does, and what everyone expects. I thought we had equivalent functionality?
