Look in your Project Browser, in Annotation Families. Find the Section head family. Right click on it, edit to whatever you want, load it back into the project. Do the same with the Section Tail family. The Section line will automatically change.

You just have to edit the families for a Section Head and a Section Tail. Delete the circles and draw arrows instead. Keep loading them back into a project and testing them until you get them to line up how you want. Also mess with the labels to get them to display what you want them to display. Then save each of them as a new family with unique names.

 

Now to make them the default, open the template project you usually start with, load that Section Head and Section Tail. Then edit the section type in the project and assign your new Head and Tail to it. Then save the template back as a template. Now it will be ready for each new project that you begin.

Rina,

 

Almost got there!

 

The intersection of the two reference planes on the right hand side coincides with the insertion point. You made your arrow from the center of the original circle, so of course when you got rid of the circle you lost the width of it, which left the gap. You would either have to move the arrow over to the right a bit, OR draw a bit more of the section line from that insertion point over the your arrow which is a bit further left.

 

And instead of setting the tail to be the same arrow, you would want edit the tail family separately, so it wouldn't have the same labels, but instead be just a simple arrow tail.
