I have been in the process of configuring all of my settings for my upgrade to carlson 09 with map 09. In the past, I would edit srvpno5.dwg in the support folder so the text would be rotated 45 deg counterclockwise when I ran field to finish. For some reason the text comes in horizontal instead of 45 deg. I have checked for srvpno5.dwg elsewhere and my attribute layout ID is set for 5 in my field code definition, yet it still won't come in the way I want. I have done this successfully many times in the past. It just won't seem to do it with 09.
Your help will keep any more hair from falling out.
