DESIGN VIEW in blocks, dashed lines

I'm using DW CS5.5. Up until today, design view was working. Now I'm getting everything in blocks with dashed lines surrounding it. I have no idea how this happened or how to get it to go back to a usable design view. Live View is working, but I really need Design View to also work.
I've tried finding an answer in the Adobe manuals, but that was fruitless. No "troubleshooting". DW CS5.5 seems to be a very glitchy application -- I've searched the web and there seems to be a lot of people out there who are having problems with DW that just pop-up out of no where and then fixing them takes hours and lots of researach. I've tried posting on this forum before, but never got a reply and there's no Adobe support that seems to be available where someone can ask a question. So, I guess this is it. Can anyone out there tell me why they think this happened all of a sudden and on it's own? Thank you.

Hi Nancy,
Well, you know that old saying, "can't see the forest for the trees". I didn't reboot, but I did shut down DW and restarted it, and to my great surprise, Design View was back in WYSIWYG. I hadn't really been doing anything before this happened, just had switched to Live View and then back to Design View. My computer is 1.5 months old and it's a dual processor, top of the line Toshiba, so I don't think that was the issue. Who knows with this software, I'm finding this version of DW CS5.5 to be very glitchy.
If you would, could you please look at my other post I just put out there regarding why my Footer won't clear the buttom of the above div's. I've tried everything, but nothing is working except giving it a Position:Absolute. I want to give it a Position:relative and then just have it clear the div's above it. The content background div also won't go all the way down. I think I must have SOMETHING in there that's causing these div's to stop, but I've looked and looked and used the "comments" code to disable and then turn back on one by one and still can't find a solution. It's very frustrating, especially since it's also now affecting my template since I made everything editable for my new pages I need to prepare.
Btw, nice to hear from someone, I've posted before and never seem to get an answer or even response. Trying to contact Adobe seems to be of little use. Again, thank you.

Dashed line / dotted line coupon effect? FCPX

Seeing if anyone has any tips or tricks on how to create a dashed line type of effect around an object in a video, making it look like a coupon or like it was cut out of paper?
The line doesn't necessarily progress around the object in the video -- it can be a static layer. Though, if anyone DOES have tips on animating the lines, that could be cool, too!
Thanks in advance.

Familiar with Motion?
Draw a short horizontal line. Select the Anchor point tool and drag the center to the right end of the line you drew. Replicate the line. Change the Arrangement to Outline. In the Cell Controls section, check the Align Angle option.
You will now have a dashed outline rectangle. You can publish the Size parameter and change the size of the rectangle with the Width and Height parameters from Size. You can increase the number of line segments with the Points parameter and you can animate the outline with the Offset parameter (but there's a catch.)
When animating the offset, you will have line segments extend "outside" the base rectangle shape briefly (since they are aligned to the side they are attached to, then snap to another side when the anchor point changes over from one side to the next.)
To get around that, you need to create another rectangle that is 100 by 100 and link the Scale X and Scale Y parameters (separately) to the Width and Height of the Replicator (in the Link behavior, set the Scale to 10 for both.) Drag the rectangle onto the Replicator in the Layers List and hold until you get the popup menu -- select Add Mask to Object. [PS -- you should center the Replicator AND the rectangle before adding the rectangle as a mask!] [You can create a square rectangle then select the Shape > Geometry tab and type in the exact points: (-50, 50); (50, 50); (50, -50); (-50, -50) to create the exact size you need.]
If the mask is perfectly aligned, you can now animate the dashed line and it won't look weird. You can change the width and height of the replicator and the mask will change in perfect synchronization.
You can also make the dashes longer or shorter by manipulating the Scale X parameter in the Cell Controls of the Replicator. If you made the original line white, you can colorize from the Cell Controls as well.
After that, you'll need to figure out if you want a solid color background; a drop zone or effect source/title background; what kind of text you want inside the dashed outline (or you can manually place a Basic Title in FCPX if you like); etc...
Hope this helps... If you need further help with this, let me know.

Dashed Line Problem in CS

I am using Illustrator CS and I draw a lot of origami diagrams.
I have set up a little library of Graphic Styles for the various lines I need to use.
I would like to be able to start and end a line of whatever length and angle on a dash.
see link below;
http://www.itsjustabitofpaper.com/Dotted%20Line%20Problem.htm
Step 1 is what is actually happening and Step 2 is what I want (Step 2 only works because I stretched the background rectangle to fit.)
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
Rikki

Yes, that would be useful when you have a dashed line joining itself to form an enclosed area and keeping all the dashes and gaps evenly spaced. But in Rikki's case having only a straight line across a specific distance, my method would be more expedient, time wise that is.

Re: weird dashed line....

Hello, Im getting a weird vertical flashing dashed line through my exported videos? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok. just for some background: I shoot everything HDV 1440 & export 720x480/letterbox as our current Nexus sys is SD only. HD down converted to SD, is better than SD.
So, below are the settings per Leightronix/Nexus:
Format: MPEG2
output: 720x480 29.97 Quality 5.0, Lower
VBR, 2 Pass, Min 6.00, Target 8.00, Max 10.00 Mbps
MPEG, 224 kbps, 48khz, 16bit, Stereo

Dashed line around iCal appointment

I have seen this posted in several areas but no solution to be found as of yet. SOMETIMES when I create an appointment in iCal, I get a clear background with a white dotted line around the appointment.
Each time I create an appointment, I invite my wife. I always get a yellow exclamation point before her name (or any name/email I use for invite). SOME appointments have a man with a question mark in the upper right hand corner (these are the ones that have the clear background and dashed line)...
When I create an appointment, invite my wife, one of three things happen:
1) the appointment is created in the appropriate calendar, invitation is sent and I am done. I do not need to wait for her to accept the appointent.
2) the appointment is created, clear background, dashed lines, little man with question mark in upper right hand corner, invitation sent. When she accepts, the color for the calendar fills the appointment and the dashed line is removed.
3) the appointment is created, clear background, dashed lines, little man with question mark in upper right hand corner, invitation IS NOT sent.
HELP! This is frustrating...

Greetings,
The events where the dotted outline and the little man appear, are they part of a calendar in the "ON MY MAC" section of the iCal sidebar on the left hand side or a different section?

Suggestion for how to make text more legible with line in background?

I want to create a dashed line that connects a bunch of text located inside a text box. However, the dashed line seems to conflict a bit with the text visually, making it difficult to read. I sent the line to the back and put small white rectangles behind the text to block the line, though I am going to have lots of these, and it is a pain. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks

The white stroke is more a movie sub title thing and like in the movies does not always work.
Try this and see if you like it
select the text with a selection tool
add a new fill of white and drag the fill below the characters in th appearance panel
the highlight the new fill in the appearance panel
then go to Effect>Convert to Shape>Rectangle
give it 2pts extra relative space
below with the new fill converted not visible
withe the new fill converted to a rectangle visible
The problem with this method and the extra stroke method is that they are not transparent and if you place an object below them you will see the stroke or
fill
You can vary the gaps and fills until you get the right combination but that might be very difficult unless you simply vary the placement of the text.

How to change draw dashed line with arrowhead (not straight)?

            g.fillPolygon(arrowHead);
        }

Problem with dashed line spacing when printing to pdf

Hi all,
this may be a problem with my pdf program (I use bluebeam), but maybe someone will have an idea how to fix it whether in indesign or bluebeam.
so I made a dashed line using the stroke command in indesign. I need to have the spacing set to 3pt dash and 2pt space. I also need to keep the lineweight to 0.5...this all works fine and appears correctly in indesign when I preview
the problem is that some of the dashed lines, but not all of them, change size and spacing in the pdf when I view it. it seems to change when I zoom in and out as well. I thought maybe this was just some odd feature with bluebeam and it would still print to the correct size, but it does not, it prints the lines as different sizes. does anyone have an idea why this happens and how to fix? ive viewed and printed from adobe reader and it seems to be okay there but this file will be accessed by multiple other people and they may not be opening and printing in adobe reader..
thanks guys

When you export a PDF you will notice that you are exporting to Adobe PDF. Using any reader beyond Acrobat Pro or Reader is a crapshoot.
For issues with Bluebeam I suggest you contact the developer.

Illustrator CS2 adds mysterious white dashed line thru my linked Photoshop file

Im using Windows XP, Illustrator & Photoshop CS2, Acrobat 7.0 Professional.
I have an illustrator file with a linked PSD file that has this mysterious thin white dashed line going through the entire image & I have no idea what it's from or how to repair it.
My trouble shooting thus far includes:
- In illustrator - I hide all the layers to see if there was an odd graphic on another layer that was causing the line, nothing. I tried to select the dashed line, not possible. I've created a PDF of the file, and the dashed line is in the PDF too (to verify it wasn't just Illustrator). Oddly in both Acrobat & Illustrator when I zoom in & zoom out, the dashes maintain their on-screen viewing proportions (like the dash spaces recalculate to the same tiny thin dashed line no matter what zoom Im at)
- In Photoshop - I zoomed in until I couldn't zoom no more and there is not the slightest dashed line in the graphic.
Lastly, I have this exact linked setup repeated throughout several different files (basically its the same ad but laid out to different dimensions for each)... and none of the others have this mysterious white dashed line.
here's a screen capture from Acrobat... zoomed into 6400%
argh - can someone help? Thanks!
kristin

Hi guys (and sorry for the tremendous delayed response).
No the line doesn't print on my local b/w laser printer. However I have seen the lines print in 1 newspaper publications... (this is out of 50 different publications)
Yes, the image is rotated slightly in illustrator, and I always flatten prior to making the PDF (cuz of the transparency/drop shadow).
It's really making me nervous that ALL our ads have these lines appearing during onscreen viewing... Im making a new batch of ads for our campaign & there are more lines than before!
Any tips theories remedies my friends?

Dashed lines in Flash CS3

Hi all, Is there a way to make the end caps of an imported
dashed line (say from Illustrator or Canvas) straight? They seem to
always come out round.
I have tried making them straight lines instead of dashed
both before and after importing them to Flash but the end caps
still come out rounded. Flash does not let me change the end caps
of dashed lines at all. So even if I set it correctly when it's
still a straight line, as soon as I turn it into a dashed line, it
turns round and I can't change it.
Very frustrating.
Thanks for your help,
Aryeh

Seems like an oversight from Adobe to me. Submit a bug report

Draw a continuous dashed line

I suspect the answer is simpler than I expect, but it has been eluding me none the less, so I've been wondering how to draw a continuous dashed line, as per the title. I'm cleaning up a photo I made a while back and would to create a flowing line and set it to be dashed as you can do in Adobe Illustrator, where you could draw a line and edit the line type to be dashed, or dotted, or a bunch of snowflakes or what have you.
I can hear you asking, "why not just use Illustrator?". Well, I do not have it. I used Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 in an art class senior year of high school, but it has been a little while so I'm trying to re-learn the ropes a little bit.

I was able to use Filter - Other - Minimum with a particular set of parameters, followed by a Median filter to smooth the results, to get something not unlike what you showed, but given that I derived the parameters empirically from your very limited image, at exactly the size given, I wouldn't be surprised if the characteristics of this sequence of operations are way off from what you want.
In any case, if you'd like to see this "proof of concept" action to understand what I did, here it is:

Keep in mind this will be VERY sensitive to the thresholds and sizes chosen for the various steps, and is crafted to work at an image with just the resolution you showed above.

How do I create a dashed line growing longer?

Hi all,
I want to create a dashed line that grows longer. I made two keyframes (at frame 1 and frame 15) with dashed lines of different lengths. Motion or Classic Tween just makes the small line move to the right and then turn into the long line immediately at frame 15.
Shape Tween gets me the closest (actually shows a line growing), however, it turns into a solid line in the intermediate steps.
My next idea is to create a mask that slowly reveals more of the line. Is that the best solution?
Thanks!

yes, use a tweened mask. that's the easiest solution.
