How to Trim Polylines Outside (or within a distance of) a Polygon?

[DanielYaw_Jr_]

I am looking to trim all polylines outside of a polygon, so that when data is requested, I can send only data in that requested area. I tried selecting by location, but the issue is that there are many polylines, some which fall completely within, some that fall completely outside, and some that cross the boarder of a polygon. I need everything to bee trimmed so that the polylines do not go beyond the polygon boundaries. It would be even better if I could specify a buffer distance from that polygon. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

Just use the "Intersect" geoprocessing tool and intersect the poly with the polylines. Output will be what you are looking for.

I tried that, but the polylines ended up being messed up - like they were straightened out. But, after researching the intersect tool, I found a similar tool called Pariwise Intersect, that seemed to work great. http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=120807ac7f8449f89840ae48e87d7f55‌
