clip - Clipping line layer based on polygons with QGIS?

Monday 18 April 2016

I have a line layer and a polygon layer. Both files have the same SRS. I want in a new shape file only the lines covered by the polygons.

I tried in QGIS the Vector -> Geoprocessing -> Clip tool but I only get an empty shapefile.

How do I do this with QGIS?

Answer

Use the Vector -> Geoprocessing -> Clip tool

Input is your roads layer, clip layer is the polygon layer.

Put the line's layer in "input vector layer" and the polygon's layer in "Clip layer"
