Make new source and destination arrows

Hi, I've been trying without success to make a new source and destination arrow. By new I mean it's a different dwg, looks like a rectangle with a pointed end.  First, the source/destination arrow are for use on P&ID drawings that have no ladder number, the reference is through Sheet number. Second, they only point horizontally. I've looked and each type has four dwgs, up, down, left, and right, actually eight, four for source and four for destination.I guess I only need two.

I found these two links which helped me in trying to do this:

https://synergiscadblog.com/2012/10/22/autocad-electrical-modifying-the-source-and-destination-symbo...

I tried a few times and my new arrows don't work. 

I'm trying for the new arrows to display inside, since they are a pointed box :

1. The system/process, this could be the SIGCODE

2. A Description, this is DESC1

3 Sheet # where the destination is and the source for the other.

I was trying to attempt to display sheet # and position, the X-Y, but failed.

How can this new arrows be on the Styles list in Properties?

I was able to figure out the HAxSX and HAxDx terminology but it didn't do any good.

Any help would be appreciated.

Go to your Project Properties and select the Styles tab.

Select the style number that corresponds to the # in the HA#Sx/HA#Dx blocks.

Click OK to exit.

Select ALL the dwgs in your project.

Right click and hover over Properties.

Select Apply Project Properties on the sub menu when it pops up.

Now insert a new source arrow to check.

 

NOTE - You may need to use the UPDATE/SWAP tool if you have previously used those blocks in the dwg or overwrote existing style blocks.
