arcgis desktop - Create Features window disappeared?



I closed the window and now I can't find it again. I've tried the Editor toolbar dropdown and Create Features is not even on there (at all, not even greyed out).


Suggestions?



Answer



Thanks to johns and Chris W! That was it! The Advanced Arcmap Settings under the program Utilities folder was exactly the issue! After a total program reinstall, .dll inspection, and multiple (hundreds!) of button clicks, it was the simple "Create Features using templates" checkbox. Now the real question is how did that box become unchecked? If it is some kind of feature that can be messed with within the program, why does it have to be utilized through a separate .exe program? We may never know... ;)

Path to executable AdvancedArcMapSettings:


**C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.2\Utilities**
