Out of plane revolution axis?

I am really surprised Pro/E is letting me down with a feature I am trying to model. I need to create a plane that is the revolution of another plane around an axis. The problem is that the axis is not on the plane.

Is there anyway to revolve a feature, be it a sketch or a plane, around an axis that is not within the plane of the feature? This seems like a pretty simple thing to do, and many other CAD packages support doing this simply with their revolve commands.

Let me know if anyone has had any luck with this.
Thanks,

Ok, sorry for the post, I solved my own problem. It wasn't even that hard. You can just pattern the feature around an axis, even an out of plane axis.
