An overview of the Extract toolset

GIS datasets often contain more data than you need. The Extract tools let you select features and attributes in a feature class or table based on a query (SQL expression) or spatial and attribute extraction. The output features and attributes are stored in a feature class or table.

ToolDescription

Clip

Extracts input features that overlay the clip features.

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.

Split

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

Split By Attributes

Splits an input dataset by unique attributes.

Table Select

Selects table records matching a Structured Query Language (SQL) expression and writes them to an output table.
