legacy annotation get correct angle

[StuartMoore]

any ideas on how to work this out...

i'm trying to get the correct angle of the annotation, from looking at the annotation it has an angle field and by drawing a line at that angle it doesn't seem to match the angle of the annotation (which is just ---- )

i've also tried calculating the angle by looking at the polygon box for the annotation and working out the longest side of the polygon and the angle from the start point to the end point but i get the same angle as is stored against the feature

i'm confused...

Is the angle from the x-axis or from North?
