Rotating a sketch on plane

Hello,

I have managed to draw a sketch at an incorrect angle on plane. Is there a method to rotate the sketch?

Regards,

Sunil

    No rotate command to rotate a sketch. However depending on how the sketch has been constrained and dimensioned it may be simple to rotate by grabbing and dragging, when the lines are blue they unconstrained and will move. First look at deleting any horizontal constraints, may take a few goes to find the right combination, cntrl z can come in handy to go back a step when you drag and destroy the existing sketch. 

    With complex sketches it will be quite hard to find the right combination of constraints to do a drag rotate while maintaining the sketches intent.

    The other alternative maybe to rotate the features created with the sketch after creation.

    Bruce, Thanks for the information. This will teach to start drawing a sketch on a plane at an angle without any coffee.

    This is possible in SolidWorks but not in Onshape!

    Also possible to rotate/move/copy in Geomagic.

    After we have possibility to import dxf/dwg into sketch, I would like to see rotate/move/copy selected entities in Onshape too.

    Took a long time before you could rotate sketch entities in SW. Good news, shouldn't take as long in OS to have this functionality.
