well, i guess that´s my problem. the polygon or polyline which i´ve drawn doesn´t appear in the table of contents because it seems to be in no layer. so when i do this: click on feature - crtl+c - click on layer i want to paste to - crtl+v, nothing happens.
by the way, i use arcgis 10.0 sp2.
how can you draw in a layer from the beginning anyway without having to copy the feature into it afterwards? just by selecting it before starting to draw doesn´t seem to work...
i´m sry, i´m working with that programm for not so long, so thanks for your answers.
