View on arrow: I'd like an arrow instead of a section line

I am making use of the Auxiliary View feature in my drawings. Unfortunately, SolidWorks insists on using what looks to me like a section arrow (two arrows connected by a dashed line) to identify the face fof the projection. I would prefer an arrow pointing in the direction of the view, but I can't see how to configure for this arrangement.
 
I had the same problem from a different direction. I wanted two joined arrows but had a single arrow.

By using different drawing standards I could change the display to what I wanted but lost other settings. I have not been able to find a single setting that controls the Auxview arrow.

I have had to assume that what I want is wrong and accepted SW as being correct.
 
The section arrow that SolidWorks wants is the correct way to do it.
