I've done a similar exercise but kept all the polygon features in one file and then use the selection toolbox to highlight the features that I didn't want to "show" and set them to invisible in the selction toolbox. This avoids the need for deleting..is that what you had in mind?

Dear Users Group, Thanks to the folks who offered help with the prism mapping question I raised last week. Here's another one. I'd like to parse out the wards on the map of Chicago with which I'm working so that we'll have a prism image for each of the city's 50 wards. I've got a map layer and have figured out how to create this by deleting the other 49 wards and essentially creating a ward map with a single ward. I imagine there is a better way to do this that will also allow me to interact with the image once I produce it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Jeff
