I have also tried Angle [Angle]
where “Angle” is the field name that holds the Degrees (ex 270)…still errors
out
 
Thoughts?
 
Can I even do what I am trying
to do?

I have been successful labeling street centerlines using the
ANGLE FOLLOW in the .map File

This is being performed on a Shapefile Line feature
 
I also have a Polygon Feature that has a field that I am
trying to label….once again I need the text to follow the polygon 
As you can see from the image the road names a following properly,
but the labels for the polygons are not following…
I tried the ANGLE FOLLOW on the Polygon and It will not
draw..
 
Is there some other syntax that I have to put in the map
file that will force the text to follow the Polygon?
 
THANKS
