How to load the base map image only what is seen in dataframe of ArcMap

Ravi_Nigudkar — Sun, 06 Nov 2016 19:23:47 GMT

I have loaded the base map. I want only the area for Austin, Texas to be loaded. Is there a way to cookie cut this out. I don't want to use Bookmark. The polygons are the zipcodes-vector data polygon feature class

See image below.

Are you looking for How To: Clip data to the data frame

or perhaps you want to use Clipping the Data Frame—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

to ignore the stuff outside your area of interest

Hi Jayanta,

Thanks for your help. It worked. How do then save the clip so that

everytime I load the image it loads faster.

Let me know

Robert,

I have another question. I am not able to make my Python window work in

ArcMap. The autocompletion does not work.

ArcGIS crashes.

Can you help.

Ravi... you didn't report back on the auto completion on that thread... do so there please, eat thread is supposed to be one question, not a continuum

Hi Robert

My data frame issues have been resolved.

I still haven't found a solution for ArcPy problem and why the autocompletion does not work

You have updated your other thread on autocompletion. Chec it again. Just try to keep one type of question in one thread. There are many documents on the Community Space page to help you familiarize yourself with GeoNet and how to get around and work with documents etc etc.
