How to shift the location of a grids without editing the database.

Objective:

I have a grid I would like to shift in a specific direction without altering the coordinates in the GDB. 

Resolution:

You can shift the location of a grid by updating the grids properties. 

1. Go to Grid and Image > Grid Properties. 
2. Select the grid and press Next
3. In the Grid Properties dialog, click Modify
4. Change the X and Y location of the bottom left point. 
5. Click OK

Alternatively, if you want to coordinates in the GDB to match the grid, you can adjust the X,Y channels in the GDB prior to gridding.  I would recommend creating a copy of your X,Y channels before editing. 

1. Database Tool > Channel Tools > Copy Channel. Copy both the X and Y channel into new channels. 
2. Use channel math to adjust the newly created X and Y channels. (Database Tools > Channel Math)
3. Then grid the data as you normally would. 

Notes:

Before altering the location of a grid, it's a good idea to create a back-up copy in case you need to roll back to the original.

To create a copy:

1. Go to Grid and Image > Utilities > Copy/Convert. 
2. Select the input grid and give the output grid a new name and click OK
