Create dotted line

I need dotted lines in the piece I'm making for the web. The only way I can get it is to bring my Photoshop doc into InDesign, put in the lines (Japanese dots, not dashes!), export as pdf and open the pdf in Photoshop. Cumbersome workaround and degrades the quality of the ending jpg. Is this the only way to get a dotted line in Photoshop?? Thanks

Can I create dotted lines in smartforms

Dear All,
I want to create dotted lines for tables in msartforms.
Is it possible.?
Thanks,
Aneel

Hi aneel,
i don't think dotted lines are possible in smartforms.you can use text box draw underscore's(_) or dots(.) but this should be the last to be displayed in adjustable form or another way is using syuline ,dots and syvline in your code in the table...
hope this solves ur query.

How to create dotted line under a region in page

I have to create a region like this
Registration
Initial regitration
Date Prepared field Date received
LTO registration
Registration No Date

Hi,
Add an Item of type Separater where you want a dotted line.
Or if you have the region without Text(some of them) will show the region with line in the top(full line).
Thanks.

[CS] Basic brushes create dotted lines instead of solid

I just received an almost-new Wacom CTL-470 tablet from my father yesterday, so naturally I began fooling around with Photoshop line drawings and simple art.
The initial problem I discovered was that, oddly enough, the basic brush tools, when dragged, would not create a solid line. It would only create a dotted line, the spaces between dots varying with speed of the pen against the tablet.
If I dragged the pen slowly enough (very... very slowly), it would create a kind of shaky line, which was just dots very close together.
Naturally I thought it was the tablet's fault, but upon trying to use the mouse to do the same function, the problem persisted.
I use Photoshop CS and I didn't change any settings at all today.
I have some things that friends wanted me to do for them, and this problem is starting to irritate me as I have no idea where it came from or how to get rid of it.
I would also like to know how I can use my tablet to create a tapering effect with my pen pressure. The "pen pressure" setting in the Brushes menu seemed to have no effect.
I have never experienced this problem before and I would like help as soon as possible. Thank you so much in advance.
Here's an example of the issue, both in large brushes and a smaller one in the background.

Look under Brush Tip Shape and look at the spacing settings or that spacing is not unchecked. (the default spacing is usually 25%)
For tapered strokes set the Size Jitter under Shape Dynamics to Pen Pressure, then the size varies depending on how hard you press the pen on the tablet.

When browsing a new library that I created, the browser shows dotted lines around grey rectangles, no images. When I double click on a rectangle the image appears. How do I get images to appear in the browser rectangles?

When browsing a new library that I created and exported onto an external hard drive, the browser shows dotted lines around grey rectangles, no images. When I double click on a rectangle, the image appears, but all the other rectangles remain empty - no image. How do I get images to appear in the browser rectangles? I am viewing this on a second computer (an older intel duo iMac), not the one I created the library on (a MacBook Pro). Both computers have Aperture 3.2.4 installed. When I return the external to the MacBook, all images appear in browser rectangles. What's happening on the iMac?

You may have a problem with the permissions on your external volume. Probably you are not the owner of your library on the second mac.
If you have not already done so, set the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag on your external volume. To do this, select the volume in the Finder and use the Finder command "File > Get Info" (or ⌘I).
In the "Get Info" panel disclose the "Sharing & Permissions" brick, open the padlock, and enable the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag. You will have to authentificate as administrator to do this.
Then run the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" on this library and repair the permissions. To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the ⌥⌘-key combination while you double click your Aperture Library. Select "Repair Permissions" and run the repair; then repeat with "Repair Database". Do this on the omputer where you created the library and where you can see the thumbnails.
Then check, if you now are able to read the library properly on your iMac.

Why is creating a decent looking dotted line to dam difficult on Photoshop CC6?

I have tried everything to create a dotted line in Photoshop CC 6, using the line tool looks terrible, and nothing else works. Why is such a simple thing so difficult in the ridiculous tool?

Are you using the brush tool? You can adjust spacing in the brush properties dialog.

Dotted Lines as outline for dynamically created shapes?

Hey all, I'm building a site whose flat, vector shapes need
an outline of a dotted line.
The majority of these shapes are simply rectangles with
rounded corners. All are created dynamically.
I could do each shape's lines by hand and attach them, but
I'd much rather use a script. Anyone have any suggestions? :) I
could use a good jump-start on tackling this.
Thanks in advance -
andy

Yeah I agree, this is not an easy task. However senocular has
a package that you can download that will get you pretty close to
your goal. So if you download the zip here;
http://www.senocular.com/flash/source.php?id=0.159
…and comment out and modify the code in the fla as the
following;
import com.senocular.drawing.*;
// create ProgressiveDrawing instance to draw in _root
//var myDrawing:ProgressiveDrawing = new
ProgressiveDrawing(_root);
// create DashedLine instance to draw in myDrawing
(ProgressiveDrawing)
// use random dash sizes
var myDash:DashedLine = new DashedLine(this, 35, 35);
// reset linestyle to random size and color
myDash.clear();
myDash.lineStyle(5, 0xFF0000, 100);
// draw a circle in the myDash instance
circle(myDash, 150,150, 200,200, true);
// because all myDash drawings were added to myDrawing,
// myDrawing will draw a dashed circle when draw is called
//myDrawing.draw(100);
…this will create a constant circle with a dashed line
versus creating a random circle. You can obviously change the
values on that frame which will change the color and spacing
between the dashes (and a few other parameters will change others).
If you notice the circle(), this is created also on the first frame
but on a different layer. This is where you would want to change
your shapes. Just create another layer that will contain a
different shape. I hope this helps, regardless have a high regard
for senocular and other developers that contributed to this
package.

Creating a 'dotted line' from a 'solid line'?

In Pages one can draw a line, and then choose to have it solid, or dotted, or a series-of-strokes (with a click). Is there anything comparable in Motion? I'd love to be able to turn my solid line into a 'dotted line' or 'series-of-strokes' with a single click.

Creating die lines in illustrator

I have been doing some research on creating die lines in illy but I have some unanswered questions: (using a standard box as an example)
1. If I want to indicate a fold (dotted line) at the base of a tab, do I create a dotted stroke across the fold, leaving an open path with the end anchor points overlapping the shape of the tab at the base?
2. Is the die line for a basic box one shape (closed path) with fold line strokes (open paths) overlapping the shape? Or are packages made from a bunch of different shapes (individual closed paths) all touching each other (overlapping sides) where each shape would be a section of the box?
4. Do the fold lines go on a separate layer from the cut lines?
I haven't been able to find a tutorial to create the die line from scratch by just going off measurements, so my questions are in regards to using the pen tool and shapes to get to the final image of the die.
Thanks!

1. Yes
2. Yes one shape is preferred. Often dies from Autocad do not have the paths conneceted and we have to connect them.
4. No the fold lines do not have to go on a seperate layer, use a global color for folds (also bleed & trim). If someone wants the folds on a separate layer , they can select the strokes fo similar color and easily do that.
Make sure use preview bounds is off, or else your stroke thickness will be calculated into your sizes in the tranform palette, and throw your die off by half the thickness of your stroke. .5pt is often preferred for die line thickness, unless large scale itmes can go to 1 pt.

How do I get rid of the dotted line on right side of bounding box

Ever since I upgraded to CS5, I seem to have a broken dotted line along the right side of the bounding box of the png logo that was created for my company. It wasn't there before. I've gone back to my original back up of the logo and this broken line is in all the versions now.
Whenever I use the artwork a single dash/dotted line is left on the far right, where the right vertical line of the bounding box would have been. You can see it in the image below on the right. Its a faint white line but when printed on a banner its stark white. The line falls just above the last "A" in Alberta.
I can use Illustrator and Photoshop basics and but have trouble when I get into problems like this.
Can anyone help me figure out why its there and how to get rid of it?
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks.

Wade and Monica,
Thanks for your help.
Wade, it hit me when you asked "why is it a png" file and I realized that I was using the wrong file. Sometimes its hard to see the forest for the trees! Problem for banner artwork fixed and I have now used the correct logo file so no more dotted line.
The dotted line only appears on the the png version of the logo. There's no coloured background on the logo file. She gave me the file as both an eps and a png file. I'm pretty sure she created the logo in Illustrator. I've been using the png file for the website, which is what I thought it worked well for. And the eps one for my print materials.
I have no clue why I grabbed the png instead of the eps logo file I usually use, but thanks for pointing out the obvious since I wasted time trying to fix it and was getting very frustrated at what had suddenly gone "wrong".
I still have that dotted line on the png file of the logo but I'll have to figure that out another day.
Thanks again!

Acrobat X: Option to hide the dotted line in between pages when viewing in 2 page view?

Acrobat X: Anyone know if there is an option to hide the dotted line in between pages when viewing in 2 page view? So that the 2 pages can look seemlessly joined, with no gap and no dotted line? This would be useful when viewing PDF magazines or books in which 2 pages join for a larger picture.

Create a Page 0 item which will be available on all pages.OMG yes I can use items in page 0 ! I should have think of that :/ Shame on me.
Application item values can be set from JavaScript using AJAX and an On-Demand Process.Yes I already tried ajax with ODP, my getappitem() function works but my setappitem() function won't assign value to application item, but it's not a problem now, I removed the ajax part and I will use page items :D
Thank you fac586.

How to create dots on a circle?

I need help please. Could someone kindly tell me how I can create dots to fit around a circle or wavy line using the blend tool and spine. However I want the dots to go from say 50mm in diam to 25mm at the middle one and then back up to 50 again? Any tips? Thanks in advance.

In CS 5 it is not really necessary to make a blend to do this particular effect you can use a drashed stroke as well
Use round caps give the dash "0" as the length and give the gap a distance sufficient enough so the sots clear each other and then use the width tool to
increase or decrease the width of the stroke it remains a stroke and the dots are proportionally scaled.
and you can go crazy whit it and depending on what you preferences are set for scaling strokes and effects you have even more options
below is one stroke
All one path two strokes

Copy Excel Chart into Illustrator: Problem with dotted lines

Copying an excel chart (2010 and/or 2013, Windows 7 Ultimate) to Illustrator CS6 works okay if line chart lines are solid... but if they are dotted, then in Excel 2010, the dotted line becomes jumbled, and in Excel 2013, the dotted line converts to a solid line... is the only solution to this to save the exel chart as a pdf, or is there another workaround?
Essentially, I am creating a chart in excel and adding a few notations and graphic elements in illustrator for professional publishing...
any help would be appreciated... thanks

This is a follow-up (somehow, my original question was logged under OOBIMICHAEL):
I finally broke down and bought a MacBook Pro, installed CS6 and Office 2011... and voilà... dotted lines copy from excel to illustrator just perfectly... this is a bit like copying data from Visio to Word, etc... these programs render graphics in very different ways... other than the Mac solution, I also tried the Libre Suite (open source)... which also worked perfectly to copy excel data with dotted lines to illustrator... so, until MS and Adobe actually collaborate together to provide value to its customers, the alternative seems (1) open source, (2) buy a Mac...

How to create dotted or dash rectangle in Photoshop?

Hi All,
Is there any easy way in Photoshop CS3 or later Extended to create "dotted or Dask" rectangles? I am talking about the border of the rectangle to be "dotted or dash" line rather usual line? If there is any Actionscript (free) that will be fanastic.
Thanks in advance...

Photoshop CS6 makes it easy.
With Photoshop CS5.5 and older, the best way is to make a path in the shape you want, then stroke it with a brush that's been prepared with the proper spacing and direction dynamics to cause the stroke to be dotted or dashed.
Generally speaking you can find a lot of tutorials for doing it via Google. What I might do is to search for something along the lines of dashed stroke photoshop, possibly also adding the word tutorial in the mix, then use the Google Images search, find one that looks like what you're trying to accomplish, and click through the Website For This Image link.
Here's one of the first I ran across with such a search: http://www.techimo.com/forum/graphic-design-digital-photography/110702-mini-tutorial-photo shop-making-dotted-dashed-lines-complex-path.html
