Orientation helper for inferred mates to make them easier to place, especially while zoomed out.

When working with large assemblies with many small parts it is very frustrating to select implicit mates. In order to have two distant points in view I am often quite zoomed out and it becomes very hard to get a implicit mate suggestion in the correct orientation. As it is comparatively very easy to select the intended vertex, all that is needed is a keyboard shortcut to cycle the direction of the primary axis.
This could of course also work for mid line mates, but perhaps not as high priority. Then I imagine the cycle would be [point normal] -> [point plane1] -> [point plane2]
