I've created a couple of new shapefiles and I'm having a difficult time getting the editing drawing tools to turn on. Is this a projection issue? All of my files have the same projection information in them and so does the dataframe. I'm pretty desperate because I'm on a short timeline. I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!
