Datums

How can you rotate datums? I am trying to draw a golf ball using a sphere. I was able to create using curve intersection and the pattern tool. I had to cover the hole sphere. I only need half the image though, so I trimmed using the right plane. I could not trim then create the array because I could not get the datum to align with the centerline, so my array was always going in the wrong direction. If I could rotate the datum, I would have saved myself some work. Can anyone help me with this.
 
Move entity along direction. select datum you want to rotate then for direction, right click-plane axis ,pick datum, then axis you want to rotate about. zero distance, apprpriate angle. Scott
