Rubbersheeting is used to make small geometric adjustments in your data usually to align features with more accurate information.
Rubber sheeting gis.
Rubbersheeting makes spatial adjustments to align the input feature locations with more accurate target feature locations based on the specified rubbersheet links.
Use displacement links to define common locations in the source and target layers.
Rubber sheeting a procedure for adjusting the coordinate s of all the data points in a dataset to allow a more accurate match between known locations and a few data points within the dataset.

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.
In rubbersheeting adjustments you are usually trying to align one layer with another that is often in close proximity.
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.
Rubber sheeting is commonly used after a transformation to further refine the alignment accuracy of the transformed features.
Applications in history and historical geography.
Rubbersheeting is used to make small geometric adjustments in your data usually to align features with more accurate information.
Before aerial photography arrived most maps were highly inaccurate by modern standards.
This process moves the features of a layer using a piecewise transformation that preserves straight lines.
For steps to transform features using affine or similarity transformation methods see transform features.
On the edit tab in the snapping group enable your snapping preferences.
The input link features represent the regular links.
The source layer drawn with solid lines is adjusted to the more accurate target layer.
This exercise will show you how to rubber sheet data by using displacement links multiple displacement links and identity links.
The input point features represent identity links that hold source positions unmoved during the rubbersheeting process.
