Simple Question, but frustrating.

I have a model ahtta has three seperate entities in it.

One of the entities is a rounded tool that should go into a slot in the other entities. all three are on the same work plane.

However the tool is 90 deg. off of where it needs to be.

If I am looking at the workplane view, I see it end on and I need to see it full length.

Is there some type of "rotate" or "spin" sommand that will do this for me, or do I need ro re-create it on a perpindicular workplane?

There are probably several ways to do this, but this should work.
Open the Part & Assy menu from righ column toolbar.
Select Modify/Position
Select the part you want to rotate
Set Methods to Other/Rotate
Select the axis
Enter the rotation angle

But how can we put the Axis in the middle??

Do you have a picture you can post? It'd make it easier to visualize what exactly you are trying to do.
