Re-coordinating site drawings

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a 3D site survey possibly carried out using some provisional local controls. With clearly identifiable features of known global and local coordinates, is there a simpler way of re-align the site drawings in the global coordinate system without having to employ the Microstation modification tools?,

I am thinking of acs of the reference file.

Could the effect of such microstation modifications be propagated to other vertical packages like InRoads, Geopak etc? 

I would very much welcome video demonstrations if it is possible.

Many thanks in advance.
