    Default North Arrow text - I don't want it to rotate

    I have set the font in this family to "Keep Readable" and yet it rotates with the symbol everytime.

    Am I missing something?

    This may work better for you, just set the angle in the type properties

    Well - that is one way but this customer wants the "N" to pivot but stay readable.
    I just can't seem to get this one.

    Keep readable only keeps the text "readable" not vertical, in other words it won't go upside down, try this one instead

    Man - I never would have thought of nesting the graphics into the symbol.
    That is it exactly!

    I was searching and found this post, are there any free north arrow symbols that orient themselves to the true north automatically?
