Hi, this is a pretty basic question I think, excuse my inexperience. Can anyone tell me how to select an area on a map and zoom to that area? I want to either extract this area and create a separate raster layer or put borders round the area so that I know I have a specified area in km squared. I have tried using the measurement tool but I cant work out how to then select the area I measure out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks. You have given me great advice on both the use of this forum and the solution to my query. I am using version 10. And yes, you are right again I am trying to extract an area from a raster area that measure 2km by 2km. I will try and follow your instructions and let you know if I make progress. I am really grateful for your advice and patience :)
