Please forgive me if I've posted this in the wrong location. I'm trying to understand exactly what happens when one uses the Data > Export Data option when you right-click on a map layer in the ArcMap table of contents. Specifically, I have a point layer with a GCS_North_American_1983 Geographic Coordinate System. I would like it in UTM Zone 10N. My current data frame is in UTM Zone 10N. When I use Data>Export Data and select the Use the same coordinate system as the data frame option am I essentially performing a projection of my point data? In other words, is this an alternative method (aside from using the projection tool) to project my data into the projection and coordinate system that I need?
I am working with AG10.2.
