How do I distort linked files non-destructively (i.e. procedurally)?


Recommended Posts

Hi, I want to procedurally distort linked files (topographic maps) like in this example below:

Layers can be spatially and analytically integrated by ArcGIS if their coordinate systems are known.

The reason it needs to be procedural is because I still have to change line weights and/ or elements on the various maps. I was planning to distort linked files using the new Vector Warp feature in Designer, but it doesn't accept linked files, see feature request:

I then moved over to Photo, tried the live projections, but unfortunately, the live projection grid widget does not correspond to the layer's bounding box.656589811_Liveprojection.gif.c451a485889f1f7ec4185ba2ffe86eb7.gif

I then used the Perspective tool, which is close to what I want, but it converts my file to a pixel layer. This means it is destructive. Are there any other options?

There is a Live Perspective Adjustment Filter.

Live filters list.
