Exclude Target Polygons from the Universe Polygons

I have two sets of polygons. One that is the outside boundaries of a city (brown outline) and the second is a set of smaller polygons that exist within the city limits but are not part of the city (green outline).  Is it possible to create a single spatial object that excludes the second set of polygons from the first?

Hi @MeanLeanDean ,

 

Yes, you could use the spatial process tool, and cut the unwanted spatial objects out.

@martinding, thanks!  I knew this had to be possible, but the tool name confused me so I combed Community and sample workflows looking for the answer and couldn't find anything. Thanks again!
