Using ArcGIS Pro, I have a 2D layer in California. The feature is a line-split-at-vertices w/ Z points.

I exported the feature to a .MAPX file and then imported into the Mt. Egmont (New Zealand) 3D tutorial.

How do I copy the feature from the imported California layer over to some location on Mt. Egmont?

I've been trying using copy/paste but keep getting "Paste Features failed".

ok. I solved it.
I exported the feature to a tab delimited file and altered the coordinates manually ("translation").
I was wrong about the coordinate transformation.
Everything works fine in GCS_WGS_1984 ("WGS84").

I would suspect that since the coordinate systems are totally different that you can't copy and paste from one into another,.

Thank you. So my question remains: how do I copy the feature?
