CLIP - GeoProcessing

 

CLIP

Reduces the spatial extent of one layer based on the extend of another

In simple term "CLIP" use to extract data we need for specific area from another layer

Steps -

1. Open ArcMap and add two layers which you are going to use for this project. In here we are going to extract road map for the Western Province from the Sri Lankan road map.

2. In the Menu bar you can see the "Geoprocessing" , then in the drop down bar you can select "CLIP", (otherwise go to Analysis Tools >Extract > Clip)

3. Now we are going to extract road map for the "Western Province", for that we are use "Roads" layer, make sure that we have to use"Roads" layer as a Input feature and "Western Province" as a Clip feature and assign a location for output feature class. 

4. After clip you can see that you have extracted road map for "Western Province". 

5. Now you can use this layer as a separate layer for your future projects,
