The property has fence lines and roads and everything is angled over 2.75 degrees. The client wants us to rotate the world to fit their property so the boundary's look square not tilted. If I rotate the entire image all of the text will slant 2.75 degrees and look stupid.

To make the print that is 6 feet x 10 feet to look square I have to rotate the image only 2.75 degrees, bring in the text on a separate layer, then rotate the north arrow 2.75 degree off to point to real north. All because some drunk stoned or stupid surveyor in Texas can't figure out north.
Earthquake!!!!!!!

Only joking
