It should be easy but I could'nt find a way for my issue. I describe a simple example by illustrations:
1. I've created an imported body from the PartBody by paste special > As result with link option.

2. I wanna translate this imported body so that middle point of the red line to be placed on the origin of the Absolute Axis System. But how?

So use translate (axis to axis)

The highlighted axis is not on the middle of the red line. If I do it, it won't be placed as I'd like.
 
Insert > Axis System
Right-click on Origin selection field and choose Create midpoint, then select your edge.

Then you can try to use Insert > Transformation > Axis to Axis
