rotate part without straight edge in part studio

I have created a round tube in a part studio. I like to rotate it head over head 90 deg. In the dialog box it asks for an axis. There is no straight edge on this tube to create an axis. How can I solve this?

    You'll likely just have to create one.  You can use a construction line in a sketch as the axis of revolution.   If the standard planes aren't enough to define your sketch plane, you can use the plane feature to create the plane you need.  In this feature there are several options in the drop down list for defining the plane so you'll have to experiment to see what works for you. 

    If you want some additional help, please share the model publicly and I'll jump on and try it out.
