You can press and hold the spacebar to temporarily turn off snapping as you create anchor points and draw displacement links or rubber sheet area polygons.
Rubber sheet transformation in gis.
Before aerial photography arrived most maps were highly inaccurate by modern standards.
Used to control rubber sheeting and adjustment operations.
The input link features represent the regular links.
Click the adjustment methods drop down arrow and click rubbersheet.
The modify features pane appears.
Rubber sheeting may improve the value of such sources and make them easier to compare to modern maps.
This drawback brings us to the idea of incorporating the historical maps into gis after rubber sheet transformation i e.
Qgis georeferencer plug in provides a number of transformation types including thin plate spline which enables full rubber sheeting.
Click the options button.
Click the spatial adjustment menu and click options.
They may be introduced by imperfect registration in map compilation lack of geodetic control in source data or a variety of other causes.
Cadcorp spatial information system software sis map modeller is offering a tool for rubbersheeting data layers.
Click either the natural neighbor or linear method and click ok.
Rubbersheeting is used to make small geometric adjustments in your data usually to align features with more accurate information.

Qgis is a free open source gis package.
Rubbersheeting makes spatial adjustments to align the input feature locations with more accurate target feature locations based on the specified rubbersheet links.
Rubber sheeting topological process of stretching or shrinking a subarea or portion of a map or image to fit in registration with selected control points.
Click the spatial adjustment menu point to adjustment methods then click rubbersheet to set the adjustment method.
Root mean square error measure of registration accuracy used during digitizing and coverage transformations.
Click rubbersheet for the adjustment method so you can set additional options for rubbersheeting.
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.
By default arcmap supports three types of transformations.
An affine transformation can differentially scale the data skew it rotate it and translate it.
Affine similarity and projective.
The affine transformation function is.
Geometric distortions commonly occur in source maps.
Click the spatial adjustment menu and click options.
