Hi...

I would like to automate the North Arrow rotation (to create a mag north arrow) using a Python script.  Is it possible to access the "Rotation" of the GRAPHIC_ELEMENT using a call from arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements?

thanks,
Don

Have you tried to use the GRAPHIC, get your geometry and use the functionality of GeometryOperations to perform the ROTATION?
When just to do the rotation, update the graphic.

Just a thought after to see both "Mapping Class Diagram" and "Geometry Class Diagram".
