Rubbersheeting is used to make small geometric adjustments in your data usually to align features with more accurate information. Rubbersheeting is used to make small geometric adjustments in your data usually to align features with more accurate information. Rubber sheeting may improve the value of such sources and make them easier to compare to modern maps. In rubbersheeting adjustments you are usually trying to align one layer with another that is often in close proximity.

Editing coverages tables with arcedit the adjust command in the arcedit command reference and understanding gis. For conceptual and detailed usage information refer to. 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.

It is slightly faster and produces good results when you have many rubbersheet links spread uniformly over the data. 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. Rubbersheeting makes spatial adjustments to align the input feature locations with more accurate target feature locations based on the specified rubbersheet links.

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 process moves the features of a layer using a piecewise transformation that preserves straight lines. The following is a summary of the command sequence that should be used when rubber sheeting two or more coverages.
