How to rotate map grid intersection points

BerendVeldkamp — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 13:21:54 GMT

I have added a 'measured grid' to my page layout, and rather than gridlines, I am trying to show only the intersection points with a + symbol.

However, the symbols don't respect the map's rotation, and always have the same angle.

The angle alignment is set to Map, but I'm not entirely sure this does what I think it should do.

Is this possible at all?

I am using ArcGIS Pro 3.5

under Angle Alignment basic property

have your tried rotating the symbols directly?

Rotating the symbol isn't the problem, but keeping it in sync with the map rotation is.

That is, I can set the symbol's rotation to 45° to go from + to ×, but then it will always be shown as ×, even if the map rotation is, say, 60°
