topic Editing Data in New to GIS Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/new-to-gis-questions/editing-data/m-p/130315#M332 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I am fairly new to GIS. I'm working on a project for site selection i am trying to narrow down a base map to strictly Louisville, ky. Which doesn't seem to be working. I am also using census data for the project. I am also having trouble selecting only census data( block group) data for only Louisville. I would like it to only show Louisville or Jefferson county and no other areas for the census data. I can work with not being able to narrow down the base map but i really need to be able to cut the Census data to only show Jefferson county. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to do this? </P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 04 Nov 2014 00:09:45 GMT LeifJohnson 2014-11-04T00:09:45Z Editing Data https://community.esri.com/t5/new-to-gis-questions/editing-data/m-p/130315#M332 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I am fairly new to GIS.

From there, you can apply <A href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//00s90000000q000000">Data Frame clipping</A> through Data Frame properties (Data Frame tab) to display only the basemap (and all other data) inside the Louisville shape, and <A href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//00s50000002q000000">Select By Location</A> the census data intersecting your Louisville shape.</P><P></P><P>Regarding the basemap, if you're using a web mapping service, you can never fully extract the data, just change the display extent.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 01 May 2015 20:25:04 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/new-to-gis-questions/editing-data/m-p/130316#M333 DarrenWiens2 2015-05-01T20:25:04Z
