HOW TO CHANGE A PARTS X,Y,Z PLANES

I opened up a part file from an assembly file I received from one of our vendors. I need to do some modifications to the part. When I open the part file the object is orientated/created on different work plans then the standard work planes in inventor. Is there a way I can change the parts xyz planes to match the standard xyz work planes in inventor?  Attached is a picture

Use the "Move Bodies" command.  Use the measure command to see how far you need to move/rotate the body.

Thanks! This worked. I was aware of the part move option, but did not know about the translate and rotate options on the left side of the window.
