Possible permanent fix ... If the first component in the Feature Manager is fixed (ie it has a small (f) prefixed to its name), right click the component and select Float. If you are really lucky, the whole assy will now be rotatable. If it is, create mates to position it to your needs. If it isn't rotatable, use the "Quick and simple fix".

Thanks, everyone. I have tried to give it a go, but to no avail, it seems as though I will have to rebuild the model. Still got a lot to learn in Solidworks, is there any good places to find tips and tricks?

Your model should now be orientated as you want it to be.
As for tips and tricks, they're all over the place. Here at eng-tips, my blog, at the SolidWorks forums, solidsmack.com, usingsoldiworks.com, on youtube. Just do a Google search, you'll find them.

Thanks for that info. I have had a go and it will not work for me for some reason. I did exactly as you said but it will not change. I will keep trying
