Limiting a polygon to a specific boundary

MitchellEmmaDEC

using ArcGIS Pro 3.5.4

I am trying to clip polygons to just the New York State boundary. Right now the layer files are for the entire US but I want it to show just for NY. I am trying to create a species distribution map for 3 different species of snake on one map. I've used the clip, pairwise clip, spatial join tools and I am unsure if I am using them wrong or need to use a different one. But every time I run the tool it says: empty output generated.

The Clip geoprocessing tool works all license levels - Basic, Standard, Advanced according to the documentation. Since you're getting an empty output generated message, you may want to run the Repair Geometry GP tool on both feature classes to see if there are any issues with them. You did mention that the 2 FC's are in different projections - I would run the Project on the species layer to UTM NAD 83 first, then run the CLIP tool afterwards.

Is the new york state boundary a polygon featureclass?

what are the coordinate systems of the files?

There is nothing to preclude you from using clip

Clip (Analysis Tools) | ArcGIS Pro documentation

is there anything in the help topic that doesn't hold true?

MitchellEmmaDEC

yes the nys boundary is a polygon feature class. the state boundary is in NAD 1983 UTM and the species layers are in WGS 1984. i tried changing the state one to WGS but it said the application is not licensed to perform this operation.

What license level are you using with ArcGIS Pro 3.5.4?

work with locally stored featureclasses

you can't "change" a coordinate system, you need to make a new one projecting it from one coordinate system to another using the...

There is no license restrictions on using Project or Clip

thank u everyone!!! i got it:)) i had to do the "run the Project on the species layer to UTM NAD 83 first, then run the CLIP tool afterwards." you have all been a huge help!

There is another way around you could do is in the Content Pane and highlight the Map Properties and then go down to "Clip Layers" and then to the right that says No Clipping. You can choose two things : Clip to an outline or Clip to a custom extent. That is the other way around.
