Arrow outside length

[KAHarding]

Does anyone know where to find the ASME/ANSI Standard that controls the outside length (arrow "Tail" opposite the dimension in outside dimensions). I have been told that it is in ASME Y14.5 2009 but I can not find it there, nor can I find it in 14.100 or 14.2. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Keith

According to respectable textbook arrowhead sizes or shapes are not given in any ASME standard.

I would consider it the truth until proven otherwise.

The shape itself of the arrowhead is given in ASME Y14.2 as being a ratio of length and width of 3:1. The size is usually based on character size of your text. The length of the extension/leader lines is not specified.
