Hi davehetfield :)
If you right click the Line tool on the left toolbar you will get a menu that offers "Line with Arrow".
However, there can be limitations with the automatic arrowheads if you want to have a thick arrow, so what I quite often do is draw one myself using ordinary lines and the snap grid, and then copy/clone it to other places on the map where I need them.
Is there a way to make these lines thicker?
If the lines are already drawn you can use Change Properties to give the lines a line width if they have none, or to make the line width thicker. Rather than guessing how thick the line is to start with, you can use List from the Info menu to find out how thick the line is before you start.
That's why I generally draw my own arrowheads and copy and paste them on the ends of all the arrow sticks.
I tried putting them on the text sheet and using the same effect. Makes them more obvious without making the shaft wider.
Thank you! I will explore tomorrow.
