How do you rotate a sketch image easily?

    skImage(sketch1, "image1", {
                "blobInfo" : definition.image,
                "firstCorner" : vector(definition.firstCornerX, definition.firstCornerY),
                "secondCorner" : vector(definition.secondCornerX, definition.secondCornerY)
            });
                     
    skSolve(sketch1);
    
    // image doesn't rotate
    opTransform(context, id + "transform3", {
        "bodies" : qCreatedBy(id + "sketch1", EntityType.BODY),
        "transform" : rotationAround(Y_AXIS, definition.rotate)
    });<br>

opTransform rotates the image boundaries and I believe it's world based. I'm thinking a sketch based transform would be better but I can't find skTransform. It would nice to rotate image out of the sketch plane.

    Create the sketch using a mate connector (or in FS modify the sketch plane) and add the rotation before adding the image. It’s the only way.

    That's what I was thinking. Thanks
