I created this family watching a Youtube video and I can't seem to add an arrow... I wanted to add an arrowhead (using either detail lines or filled region) in between text to show path of travel. I tried to add parameters but it does not center between the text, and it also doesn't repeat. 

The spacing / number of text changes depending on the length of the line. Therefore, I am not sure where I need to add parameters to center this arrow. 

Please help me out!

Take a look at the enclosed family.

Also, you will notice (maybe you did already) that the line goes across the text when printing. See this for the solution.

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed.

I added a masking region in the symbol text family to solve that issue. 

Thank you so much.
