[Wien] coordinate system

Dear Wien2k Users
   Thank you Prof. Blaha for your answer.
 What I'm practicing is to constrain magnetic states  with "-orbc" option. For this option, I should make *.vorbup, *.vorbdn files by hand. I don't think it is a big trouble if I have an unit matrix for the local coordinate and (001) magnetic moment. For 4f state it is not too bad if I take care only diagonal components of real part of the orbital potential. But if the local coordinate is not an unit or magnetic moment is not in (001) I think I should rotate my orbital potential which has only diagonal components.
I have trouble to understand and to get this rotation matrix. How can I rotate an orbital potential which is represented on Y_lm basis to follow the local coordinate ? And if the magnetic moment is (100) direction should it rotated from the global crystalline coordinate or from a coordinate which has the z-axis as (100) direction ? 
Maybe my trouble comes from something that I misunderstood. Could you please help me ?
