ST_Cut Bug

rferriman
Átomo

The description for the ST_Cut function in Designer and online is the opposite of how the tool actually works.  The description online says-

 

"ST_Cut(object1,object2): Returns the result of cutting object1 from object2 (spatial object)."

 

In reality object 2 is cut from object1 leaving only the part of object1 not intersecting with object2.

 

The image below is from the help page.  It is not what happens in the workflow.  We are running 2023.1.1.123

@rferriman nice catch! I can confirm that you are correct. That's good to know for future projects. This is just the user community, however. Can you report this in the support area by submitting a case toward the bottom of this page: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Support/bd-p/SupportPage ?
