Thanks guys for your suggestions. Unfortunatly this was not what I was looking for. I was looking for a mask in the Layouts window. And I would like it to be full transparent regarding other elements of the layout.
Following the example of the video, I would like to have a map item with the shape of that country. but I would like to see the layout items that are around the map. Cherry on top of the cake: that the grids still work fine with labels around the edges of the irregular shape. I hate cite ESRI but here it goes... Something like this image: https://community.esri.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-753103-397442/pastedImage_2.png Thanks, Alex Richard Duivenvoorde <rdmaili...@duif.net> escreveu no dia quarta, 20/06/2018 às 08:56: > Works like a charm. > > Thanks Frank for the tip!
