raster export

[francescarusso]

Hi all,

I have a Slope ratser (xyz data) of a big area. I need to export just a small part of this area in order to send to a client the xyz data just for the selected area. How can I achieve this?

I have ArcGIS 10.2 and just SA extention tool.

Many thanks

Francesca

Hi Francesa,

You can use the Clip tool in the Data Management toolbox.

Hi Jake,

many thanks for your reply. I knew already about the clipping  but  do not know why when I try to input my features it doesn't recognize the raster format but just shapefile..so it is not possible to browse the raster and to clip it to lets's say a polygon.

Any suggestion?

I have tried to export it with right click exprt data- but then I can save it in tiff and other format and I d not know whether this will allow the client to see the xyz data and to work with them if needed.

I Cannot send to them the whole raster due to some private data and similar things.

Cheers,

Francesca

Use Clip (Data Management), not Clip (Analysis)

A possible source of confusion - there are 3 Clip tools in ArcMap:

• The one Jake Skinner suggested (Clip - Analysis toolbox) is the one to use - it does raster. 
• The more commonly used Clip tool (Clip - Data Management toolbox) is for vector data, so that may be the source of confusion.
• Then there is a Clip tool for Coverages (Clip - Coverages toolbox).
