You can control the arrowhead symbols in dimensions and leaders including their type, size, and visibility.

You can choose from many standard types of arrowheads, or you can create your own arrowheads. Additionally, you can

Suppress the display of arrowheads, or use one arrowhead only
Apply a different type of arrowhead to each end of a dimension line
Control the size of arrowheads
Flip the direction of an arrowhead using the dimension shortcut menu

NoteFlipped arrowheads maintain their appearance in versions later than AutoCAD 2002. However, if you edit a drawing with flipped arrowheads in a release earlier than AutoCAD 2006, the arrowhead directions will revert to their original orientations.
