<p>Hi Ken,</p>
<p>Where are you storing the new layer? Maybe you are not selecting
a folder where you can write the new shapefile (that's why you get
the permission denied error). Can you confirm the location of the
new shapefile?</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Jorge Gustavo<br>

years of using ARCGIS, I’m using the training manual

been able to see
the required buttons, drop downs, etc. But on others, I’ve hit
some deadends.<span></span></p>
