I am using ArcMap 10.1.
I rotated my data frame for a map, and the north arrow dutifully is rotated as well to show north. I've been told it's possible to annotate the degree rotation on the north arrow symbol itself, but I cannot find the option in map settings or symbol properties.
How can I annotate the degree rotation on a north arrow itself?
You can add dynamic text that shows the rotation of the data frame. Just create a text box with the following dynamic text in it:
<dyn type="dataFrame" name="DataFrameName" property="rotation"/>
