Hi,
I have a shape file of USA imported into my layer. I want to clip the layer along the U.S. border to prevent any drawing outside of the U.S border. I think what I need to do is to create a geometry containing all the surfaceElements in my layer and set it to the Clip property of the layer. My question is how to conver the surfaceElements to a Clip geometry? Could any one gives me an example?
Thanks
Could you provide a bit more information on what you are trying to achieve? If the states for the US are the only surface elements in the layer, why are you trying to use them as the clip boundary? I'm not entirely sure it will be valid to use the Clip property on the layer in this manner, so it will help to know what you are trying for.

We are drawing the contour on the top of the US Map in other layer and don’t want the contour lines go
outside of the US border.
What I think is to get the Clip geometry of the US border and set up the clip region on the drawing layer.
Please advise me how to achieve it.
Thanks.
