Cut a PolyPolyline from a Polygon

[gcarmich]

I am trying to cut a polyline from a polygon but I get the following error:

Warning: Spatial Process (30): Invalid Process: Tried to cut a PolyPolyline from a Polygon

Is there a way to cut a polyline with a polygon?

Thanks,
Gil

As far as I know, Polygon cannot be cut from Polyline, but I really understand what you want to do.

This is workaround to do this.

Trick here is to convert Polyline objects into Polygon by buffer tool, and use it as a cutting object. We have to compromise about "buffered" areas are missed in the result object.

Can you describe a little further what your expected output looks like? Or include a screenshot of your workflow? If you want the Polyline that is within a Polygon, then using the Intersect option is what you are looking for. Otherwise more information would be helpful.
