Chose Input
Arc Map

4. Arc Map Spatial Adjustment
The features to be deformed can be selected using the “Edit Tool” (arrow head in the Editor)

5. Spatial Adjustment

7. Arc ToolBox Spatial Adjustment New Displacement Link
Used to determine start and final position of points

8. Arc ToolBox Spatial Adjustment Displacement Links
Mnai displacement links can be used to determine the new geometry of the feature(s)

9. Arc ToolBox Spatial Adjustment Link Table
The “Displacement Links” can be listed with the “Link Table” command

10. Arc ToolBox Spatial Adjustment Modify Link
“Displacement Links” can be modified: to do this, select the link to be modified with the selection tool (arrow) and drag and drop one of the nodes of the displacement

11. Arc ToolBox Spatial Adjustment Modify Link
The “Modify Link” works in a similar way

12. Arc ToolBox Spatial Adjustment Options – Edge Match
Used to automatically modify the source Layer according to a target Layer

13. Arc ToolBox Spatial Adjustment Options – Edge Match
“Use Attributes” creates automatically links between the source and the target layer connecting objects with the same attribute

14. Arc ToolBox Spatial Adjustment Automatic Multi Link
Automatically sets control points to make the outline of the source layer to fit that of the target layer

15. Arc ToolBox Spatial Adjustment New Identity Link
Creates a point in the source layer that will not move

16. Arc ToolBox Spatial Adjustment Limited Area
Limits the deformation to an area

17. Arc ToolBox Spatial Adjustment Clear Limited Area
Erases the limited area

18. Arc ToolBox Spatial Adjustment Attribute Transfer
Copies the attribute for a selected feature from another one (to be selected)

19. Arc ToolBox Spatial Adjustment Methods
Select the metod to be used for the geometric transformation
