Clipping by view extent

[DevonJenkins]

Hi everyone,

I want to clip features based on my window extent. Right now I am creating a clip feature class polygon to match my view. instead of inputting "clip features" to clip, is there a syntax to input for the dataframe?

thanks

It looks like you are only inputting 4 points to create your polygon, you need 5 points to create a closed rectangle.

Yeah that was just a typo when writing the code here.

Hi Devon,

What is the input you are using for the Clip GP tool (i.e. shapefile, feature class)?  I noticed there is a space in the name (Trapper Lines).  Try renaming the shapefile/feature class and remove the space.  When naming a shapefile, feature class, or table you should follow the 3 rules below:

1.  Should not contain spaces
2.  Should not begin with a number
3.  Should not contain any special characters
