I'm wondering how to clip my water polygon shapefile within the boundaries of one polygon within a larger dataset. I have an Admin Boundary shapefile and a Waterbody Shapefile. Instead of clipping the waterbody with the whole Admin Boundary dataset, I'd like to clip any of the water that falls within only the top half of the polygon specified in the screenshot. The FID is 23 for the polygon of interest that I would like to clip.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks so much.

While the FID is generally not a good choice in shapefiles as it is not persistant (if you edit the shapefile to say remove a feature, the FID of the other features can change).

 

 

You can use a tester on your admin boundary shapefile for FID = 23, and send the passed port to the Clipper.
