What I am trying to do is use
annotation from a Geodatabase. From what I hear GeoMoose / Map Server will not
read it.
I converted the Annotation
Feature Class to a Point.
Then created a Polygon from the
Annotation Feature Classes, pointing to the Point Feature class for the
Attributes (label field, degree field)
I then read the Polygons into
GeoMoose and label on the field and Angle the text by “Angle’ Field.
The ANGLE call to Map Server
dosent seem to work in this case
Any thoughts?

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
