Specify the desired settings in the General and Direction Arrow categories.

Note
The direction arrow length must be at least twice that of the specified arrow head size. If not, the arrow head is not displayed. For example, if you specify an arrow head size of 0.2, the arrow length must be at least 0.4. This behavior is similar to AutoCAD leaders.
