Dashed Line

Post by peatle »

I have tried creating a line ( Drawing Manager > Linetypes ) that is a Dashed line same as No. 25 but starts and ends with a space as opposed to a dash .... I haven't had any success.

Has any one done this or can offer any help with it ........ thanks.

Dashed lines can start with a space but always end with a dash.
Anyway, in the Drawing Manager > Linetypes pane do the following:

- Duplicate line #25
- Set the pattern units to pixels (you can actually use any units)
- Set the first Dash to 0 and the first Space to 3
- Add a second pattern
- Set the second Dash to 7 and the second Space to 0
- Save the new line.

That works ( 50% anyway ) ....... I guess I will just have to shorten this line at the end with a dash to get the line I want.

Thanks Giovanni
