Is there a way in Patran to align the first edge of a quad or tri element (direction of node 1 to 2) and thus the element coordinate system with a user defined coordinate system X axis?

With Utilities/FEM-Elements/Modify Element Orientation - Method = Vector Match you can select an existing coord x-axis as orientation vector to change quads and trias:
