Esri rubber sheeting. Rubbersheeting is used to make small geometric adjustments in your data usually to align features with more accurate information. Rubbersheeting makes spatial adjustments to align the input feature locations with more accurate target feature locations based on the specified rubbersheet links. Linear this method creates a quick tin surface but does not really take into account the neighborhood. The source layer drawn with solid lines is adjusted to the more accurate target layer.

In rubbersheeting adjustments you are usually trying to align one layer with another that is often in close proximity. Rubber sheeting may improve the value of such sources and make them easier to compare to modern maps. This process moves the features of a layer using a piecewise transformation that preserves straight lines. See about spatial adjustment rubbersheeting for more details.

In rubbersheeting adjustments you are usually trying to align one layer with another that is often in close proximity. Before aerial photography arrived most maps were highly inaccurate by modern standards. About rubbersheeting rubbersheeting is typically used to align two or more layers. Rubber sheeting is a useful technique in historical gis where it is used to digitize and add old maps as feature layers in a modern gis.

This tool is intended to be used following the generate rubbersheet links tool. This exercise will show you how to rubber sheet data by using displacement links multiple displacement links and identity links. Rubbersheeting is used to make small geometric adjustments in your data usually to align features with more accurate information. The method parameter determines the interpolation method used to create the temporary tins in rubbersheeting.
