arbitrary georeference:� A georeference that uses a matrix rather than control points.� Raster, vector, CAD, or TIN objects can have an arbitrary georeference.� An arbitrary georeference is created when an object with no georeference is used as a reference layer for creation of a new object in the Spatial Data Editor.� Note that you can make an object without a georeference in the Editor.� An arbitrary georeference allows you to correctly display related objects together.
