· How can I change direction of layers building?
Very interesting post! I never thought of that.
I don't think the 45 degrees fill is for strength. It is for speed. If each stepper (X and Y) can move 100mm/sec maximum then your diagonal will be 141mm/sec. That is why infill is at 45 degrees. I'm 90% sure. I don't think there is any strength advantage.
If you want a stronger infill you can use a honeycomb infill. It takes much longer to print but is stronger than "square" infill. It is available in cura 13.04 and older. Cura 13.04 is quite dependable and is a good version to use. Or you can use kisslicer.
