Can a sketch be flipped over?

Hello,
I've imported a DXF file into Onshape however, its normal to the top plane but the orientation is that the "bottom" of the sketch is facing up (and the top is facing down).
I'd like to flip it over (like flipping to the other side of a ruler or card)
I know I can use the bottom view but it's a pain when I want to set the view back to isometric.
Thanks for any help.

You can either:- Mirror the sketch (use the sketch mirror tool).
- Place the Sketch on a Mate Connector (instead of a Plane). That way you can change the orientation of the Mate Connector, and the imported DXF will go along for the ride. Here's the Help page that might be helpful.
