In ArcMap 10.1 from the python window I am attempting to rotate a symbol for a point. After I run my code I can look at the symbol properties and the rotation expression is set on the symbol, however the symbol in the data frame is not rotated.
What am I missing to get the points in the data frame to show the point rotated?
(also worth noting, if I click on "OK" in the expression builder and rotate windows, then click "apply" in the layer properties window, then "OK" the symbols are then displayed in the data frame properly)
