I missed the "dwg" part. The projection is always per the 1st or 3rd view projection rules (3rd by default) but you can fool the system once the view is placed by dragging it to the other side of the master view. I do not typically use the arrows other than section arrows. But I do often rotate a view for clarity, and state such in the detail view.
Maybe an example image of the what you are trying to do will help with understanding the issue. What is throwing me is the term "sketch".
