How to converts top level shape's bBox transform into a lower level(hierarchy depth) cell ?

Dear All,

I have a shape which is over a instance(maybe depth is 2) ,  the shape's bBox  is apply to level 0 coordinate  ,i.e  (5.075:3.16  5.335:3.52),
I want the bBox  converts into the instance's coordinate . It's similar to Edit-In-Place , But the instance is Read-Only and I don't want to using
Edit-In-Place .
;; Convert bBox from Top to Bottom

e.g.  I draw a rectangle shape(On level 0)  over the instance (depth is  2), I don't need to open the instance in another cellview  ,
 Just liker using Edit-In-Place, the shape's bBox is transformed inside the instance.
When I open the instance , using the sshape's bBox to draw a rectangle shape . It's the sam location when I return to top.

How to do it ?

Thank you,
Charley
