As they are blocks, you have to modify the blocks themselves for a permanent solution. If you do su, make sure to update the installed blocks.
If it's only for the one dwg, select the blocks and go to the properties. Adjust the X & Y scales to increase the size.
This will scale the block up with 1 being 100% (standard size) and 1.5 being 150% and so on. Doint it this way will scale all the blocks up at once without changing their insertion point.

Brad,
Thank you for the answer. I want to modify the source/destination arrows and texts in project-wide. How can I modify the block?
Regards

Several steps....
First, select the block and then go to the properties. write down the file name.
Second, go to your directory that holds all of your ACADE blocks and find this file.
Third, open this file and make the required changes.
Fourth, SAVE the block as a new style of block. Note that the files names are in the format of HA?S* and HA?D*.
The ? indicate what style you have selected while the * indicates the connection direction. The S & D are for
Source and Destination.
Fifth, do the same to all the other blocks in the style you have selected and again save them as a new style. ACADE
comes with 4 styles out of the box, so start with style 5.
Sixth, go to your project properties and select your new style.
Seventh, Swap the existing blocks for the new blocks using the project wide setting. This will swap ALL the existing
blocks within the project to your new style.
