Being a raw 'newbie', how can I modify an existing shp file? I have a 50 state county file and want to include only select states. Any assistance would be appreciated as none of my attempts have been successful.
If have you loaded the Shapefile into QGIS: Select the states you want with holding ctrl pressed, Right-click on the layer -> Save Selection as... And give the new Shapefile a different name. You can add it to the project in the same step.
