How to use Clip Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

Clip Tool

Clip Tool, Extract Toolset, Analysis Toolbox

Clip

Extracts input features that overlay the clip features.

Use this tool to cut out a piece of one feature class using one or more of the features in another feature class as a cookie cutter. This is particularly useful for creating a new feature class—also referred to as study area or area of interest (AOI)—that contains a geographic subset of the features in another, larger feature class.

1. Input Features

The features to be clipped.

2. Clip Features

The features used to clip the input features.

3. Output Feature Class

The feature class to be created.

4. XY Tolerance (optional)

The minimum distance separating all feature coordinates as well as the distance a coordinate can move in X or Y (or both). Set the value to be higher for data with less coordinate accuracy and lower for data with extremely high accuracy.

Select

Select Tool

Select Tool, Extract Toolset, Analysis Toolbox

 

Select

Extracts features from an input feature class or input feature layer, typically using a select or Structured Query Language (SQL) expression and stores them in an output feature class.

1. Input Features

The input feature class or layer from which features are selected.

2. Output Feature Class

The output feature class to be created. If no expression is used, it contains all input features.

3. Expression (optional)

An SQL expression used to select a subset of features.

Split

How to use Split Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

Split Tool

Split Tool, Extract Toolset, Analysis Toolbox

Split

Splits an input with overlaying features to create a subset of output feature classes.

The Split Field parameter's unique values form the names of the output feature classes. These are saved in the target workspace.

1. Input Features

The features to be split.

2. Split Features

Polygon features containing a tabular field whose unique values are used to split the input features and provide the output feature classes' names.

3. Split Field

The character field used to split the input features. This field's values identify the split features used to create each output feature class. The split field's unique values provide the output feature classes' names.

4. Target Workspace

The existing workspace where the output feature classes are stored.

5. XY Tolerance (optional)

The minimum distance separating all feature coordinates (nodes and vertices) as well as the distance a coordinate can move in X or Y (or both). Set the value to be higher for data that has less coordinate accuracy and lower for datasets with extremely high accuracy.
