how to rotate features of a body about an axis in .ipt part file

I have a part file with one solid body made up of four features.  Can I get those four features to rotate about the z-axis (or any axis for that matter)?

 

For example.  Say I have a masonry brick.  The long ways was in the x direction.  Now I want the long ways to be in the y direction.  Is there a way to simply rotate it without redefining sketches?

Hi!

 

 

Yes. Use move body.

 

Expand the options and Be sure you choose ROTATE

If you're using a Combine Body to make the holes, you can Move the Tool Body first and put it where you need it:
