North arrow rotational parameter

Guys, I can lock the north arrow line into a reference plane, but have it rotate about the center seems very tricky. How do you lock that endpoint to the circle center yet allow it to rotate nicely as angular parameter ?

- Create a Symbol family

- Nest it in the North Arrow family, host it on a reference line

- Create an angular parameter to rotate the reference line

Why don't you just insert the North Arrow Symbol into a TRUE NORTH View?  It will then point to True North when View is changed to Project North.

You can also have a true compass.

Is this a custom family?

Oh, right, sun path, missing sun path threw me off. If anyone stumbles on this, you have to set solar study to "Lighting" to get rid of the sun path, can't have just the compass with other options.
