I just had to do this for a program I have to re-orient the setup on.
What I did was delete all of my alignments starting from the end of the program working back to the start. Select "Yes" to align the features with the new alignment. Do this until only the Startup alignment is left.
Next, reset all feature nominals from the Operation>Features menu. This will put everything back on the model from where ever it was on the machine the last time the part was ran.
Next, transform your model to the new rotation; click the "keep original" check box. Do this so you can visualize that the rotation is correct.
Next, after the startup alignment and before any measured features create a new alignment that rotates the part the desired direction. Click "Yes" to align the features to the new alignment.
Next, delete the new alignment; this time clicking "No" when asked to align the features to the new alignment.
Finally go back through and recreate all of your part alignments from the beginning to the end of the program.
You're also going to want to go through and double check all clearance plane definitions and moves.
