[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.

Green dotted line instead of solid???

What does a Green dotted line instead of solid line mean on the wireless map???

Well the Green dotted line shows that you have functional wireless connectivity with the computer, however not all wireless devices are displayed with the dotted green line.
But basically the solid green line shows for the functional wired connection.

Dashed/Dotted Line instead of underlined Text

Hi All,
I am trying to build a component in which I need to show dashed or dotted line instead of underline for <mx:Text/> control.
Say if I have underlined text in various places in a <mx:Text/> I want the that text should be underlined with a dashed/dotted line but not complete solid line.
How can I acheive this...? Anyone having any ideas on this ...?
Thanks in advance,
Bhasker Chari

Hi GordonSmith,
Thank you very much for replying...I also had this thought in mind but it would be very difficult it seems because inorder to find the coordinates of each character where the underline is there and push the coordinates into an Array by traversing the whole text and after that we need to draw the lines onto th e UI using the drawing API.
And one more thing I have observed is using the drawing API(by drawing using sprite) we need to add the sprite to the stage so we need to draw for each and every underlined character using sprite and we need to add it to the stage.
Say if the <mx:Text /> control is in a canvas container then we need to add sprite instance drawing dotted underline for each word and add it to the Canvas container...but this will make the positioning of the dotted line very difficult.
Hope this makes sense....
Thanks in advance,
Bhasker Chari

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.

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.

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

Create a Brush Preset of the proper shape and set the Spacing as high as necessary in the Brush Panel.

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.

Apex 4.2: Help text to show as dotted line instead of default circle

Hello
I've entered help text for most fields on a long form.
The help text icon is a grey circle with a question mark in it, which displays to the right of the page item.
Occasionally, the help text icon doesn't fit on the line, and displays slightly or entirely below the page item.
I'd like the help text to display instead on hover of the page item label, which should display a dashed or dotted underline.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Emma

Look at your item label template

Local Adjustment Brush - create a line

Hey everyone,
I thought that in Lightroom 2, you could use the local adjustment brush, click on an area, then hold down ctrl key, click another area, and a line would be drawn between the two points. How do you do it in Lightroom 3? Am I mistaking this in Lightroom 2? I'm pretty sure I used it alot for a while and can't figure it out now.
Thanks ahead of time,
Colby

Not in Lightroom. Applying changes to a selection is sort of the domain of a pixel editor.

How do I prevent preflight from converting my dotted lines to solid lines?

I am working on a booklet and at the end I have a notes page with dotted lines to keep the weight down, but when it goes through preflight, it changes my dotted line to a solid line that is too heavy. Is there any way to prevent this? I have to convert the files to B+W so I tried using Digital printing B+W and convert to grayscale, but both turn the dotted line to a solid line. If I use a color mode in the preflight, it won't change the line to solid, however then I can't get everything else to black and white. What do I do!?

Here is another way to convert to BW: (Acrobat X) Tools> Convert colors> Output intent- convert colors to output intent> Grey gamma 1.8

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.

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.

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.

Make the highlight bold when tabbing through items on page instead of tiny faint dotted line

When you tab around within a page (i.e. with the Tab key) and things such as links get highlighted they are only indicated with an extremely thin faint dotted line. Is there a way to make the highlighting more prominent such as a thicker line or light shading of the boxed-in area?
I don't even know what words to use for this in order to search for an add-on. What do you call it when you click on Tab to move the selection from one item on a page to the next? Highlighting? I don't think it's the cursor because the cursor is for typing words, right? I'm not talking about switching from one page or FF tab to another. I'm talking about when you move the selection (??) from one link to the next within a single page and then you can hit Enter which is like clicking on the highlighted link.

You can set the browser.display.focus_ring_width pref to a higher value (default is 1) on the <b>about:config</b> page.
