I have a Map Series in ArcGIS Pro that was imported from ArcMap (with Data Driven Pages) to produce several different orientations. In Pro, symbols are not rotating with the data frame– they are always oriented North up. Symbols with a rotation value in the attribute table are being rotated by these values, but nothing is rotated with the data frame.
Is there something I need to do (along the lines of checking "rotate symbols with data frame in Utilities for ArcMap) to get this to work?
I am totally new to ArcGIS Pro.

Symbol rotation for point markers is defined when you click on the symbol and view its properties. Under Angle alignment is a drop box showing Display and Map. You can augment the rotation by defining which one you want.
This is set per individual symbol, so the process goes like this: Click the symbol in the Contents Pane (Or open the Symbology pane and click the symbol) You'll see the Gallery and Properties tabs. Click Properties There are three tabs under Properties: Symbol / Layers / Structure. Click Symbol. Next are two drop-downs: Appearance and Halo. Click Appearance. There you will see Angle Alignment.
Display - Point symbol is rotated according to your screen. Map - Point symbol is rotated according to the data frame (map properties)
