Revolve a Part without revolving the three main planes?

Revolve a Part without revolving the three main planes?

Revolve a Part without revolving the three main planes?

(OP)
Good morning, I have a solid model, 1.563 rd., with four i/4 npt ports drill into the side of the part, 90 degrees apart.  I need to revolve the part 90 degrees without moving the three main planes, so I can change the orientation of the main inlet port.  Is any of that clear?  Is there a way of doing it?  Or do I just have to go back to scratch and start over?  Thank you in advance for any assistance.

You'll have to redfine the geometry and planes that the sketches start on.

Thanks for the response, Jason.  I am not sure how to do that, the model is just a circle that is extruded.

OK, I just got a tip and in insert.features there is a copy and rotate and that appears to do the trick.  Thanks.

You can also RMB on the sketch in the FM and select Edit Sketch Plane

cheers

Just for extra info, you can manipulate the "body"(found in the Solid bodies folder) with the feature "move/copy" body.
