Good Day All,
I am working a little bit with drive time and I was wondering if there was a setting or a tool that I could run to get the inverse shape of a feature. For example I have a picture attached that has drive time for hospitals in green. Is there a process I can run other than tracing/drawing that can create me a shape of everything not in green.
Any advice to get me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. My main goal is to create a shape to display areas outside the drive time.
One thing I was able to do was create a new field and say yes or no if the parcel is inside the drive time zone. BUT I would like to create a shape if I can.

I don't know if I'm oversimplifying or misunderstanding, but you can just take a larger polygon (draw a rectangle feature class/shapefile around your current extent) and then erase the drivetime polygon from it Erase (Analysis)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation.
I know you said you don't want to draw anything but it is very painless.

Hi David,
I had never used the erase tool since it is part of the advanced license.
But, I was able to do a pairwise erase and from what I can tell the process did what it was supposed to do. For some reason erase is not part the basic license but pairwise erase is apart of basic licensing.
