The railties symbol used to be aligned perpendicular to the line and therefore looked like railroad ties. The symbol now only draws upright, i.e. horizontal. The documentation at <a href="http://mapserver.org/mapfile/symbology/construction.html#sym-construction">http://mapserver.org/mapfile/symbology/construction.html#sym-construction</a> shows a layer and a symbol similar to what I have, except they use a T as the character, following the line. What changed and how do I get the symbol to follow the line again?<BR>
