Current Source Symbol Polarity

You are correct that for a two-terminal device, the current direction is defined as flowing from the first node to the second node. Consequently, to probe the current flowing out of the ‘+’ (first node) of a voltage source, you must use -I(V1). For a current source, the first node is labeled as ‘-’ in the symbol; therefore, to probe the current flowing out of the ‘+’ (second node), you must use I(I1)

I recall a similar request in this post. There, I explain how to create a custom symbol, and I have also provided custom symbols for current sources that use an arrow instead of a +/- sign.

Or, if you are looking for the possibility of QSpice adding an arrowed current source by cycling the ‘I’ key (or even changing the default current source symbols), the only way is to email Mike Engelhardt. You can explain your concerns and see if he agrees to make these changes. His contact information can be found in QSpice > Help > About.
