É possível extrair um distrito individual de um shapefile?

Question

<\/HEAD>Olá! Sou bastante novo em GIS e ainda estou aprendendo a me orientar. Estou tentando usar a ferramenta intersect para encontrar a interseção entre duas camadas de feição, mas gostaria de mapear a interseção de um distrito com sua bacia hidrográfica sobreposta. O shapefile original contém condados delimitados e eu gostaria de extrair um do shapefile original para usar a ferramenta intersect nele. Cada condado é um polígono e possui um GlobalID.<\/P> <\/P> Alguém pode me ajudar com isso? <\/P><\/DIV><\/BODY><\/HTML>

Hello Jamie!

Welcome to the wonderful world of GIS!  So it sounds like you would like to export a feature class containing only one specific county polygon from the greater county polygon layer.  I'll outline this workflow as it pertains to ArcGIS Pro although the workflow is essentially the same within ArcMap.

In order to export a single county polygon, you would first want to do a select by attributes on your county polygon layer.  You can find information about how to select by attributes at the URL below. You will want to open the Select Layer by Attribute pane first, this can be done by clicking the Map tab, going to the Selection group and clicking Select by Attributes.  Next you will want to set the selection type to New Selection.  Finally you will want to create a clause.  In your case, this will look something like Where County_Name is equal to "_____".  The blank space there would then be filled with the desired county.  You mentioned that the counties have global ID's so you could also do something like Where Global_ID is equal to "____".  After authoring the clause, run the tool.

This will select the desired county.  Next, right click the counties layer in the Contents pane, go to Data, and Export Features.  This will open the Feature Class to Feature Class tool.  Simply specify an output name and location and your golden!

Hopefully this helps you out!
