[Qgis-user] Editing my map

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

"Is there a better way to do this?"

Yes, try Vector/geoprocessing tools/clip.  Select the US, in the 
countries files, select "district" as input layer in the clip tool GUI 
and the country file as the Ovelay layer (use selected features only if 
you have pre-selected the US).

Good luck

Nicolas
