You can use the Edit menu ► Transform commands to transform (translate, rotate etc) solid geometry. (Many of these commands are also in the Solids toolbar.)
If you transform a solid with features, the features are also transformed.
However the transformation will only complete if the features stay in their CPL:
For mill features, you can translate along any axis, and rotate about the Z axis of the feature's CPL.
For Turn features, you cannot rotate out of the ZX plane.
For Radial hole features, the 'Axis' property indicates the X, Y or Z axis of the feature's CPL that you can translate along, or rotate around.
With the 'Copy' option checked, the command will always complete to create the copy, but without any features transformed out of their CPL..
Thread information will be preserved after transformation, unless the threaded hole features are modified, in which case the thread information will be removed on a reload.
