Then in the properties of this line I go to Advanced and set the object rotation to 45 degrees. But the line still prints vertical.

Any particular reason why you're not adding label controls with a slash character? (i.e.. rather than a single label with string with slashes with spaces to separate them, use two separate labels with slashes spaced individually -- that way you can get better control with the spacing and not have it so dependent on the font)
