Growing dotted line

Hello there! I've just run into a snag in creating a graphic for my company and I'm interested if anyone has a good solution for it.
I'm trying to create a dashed line with expanding dots. I need them to appear to grow from right to left. I've managed to make the dashed line and customized the size throughout the sequence using the width tool. However, I can't figure out how to make the gap between the dots change as the sequence progresses. So the dots mesh into each other at the end of the line. Is it possible to make the gap change overtime? If not, are there other ways to achieve the same effect? Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you.

I'm still running into the issue of the spaces not gradually increasing on the drawn out path. I need for each dot to get a little farther away than the last one and not bunch up in any anchor points. I've tried to manually place each dot and control the size of all of them, but the results are jagged and inconsistent.

  • 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.

  • 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 do I make a dotted line in Illustrator?

    I've figured out how to make a dashed line (under Stroke), but how do I make a dotted line? Little round circles, one after the other that I can resize, turn into a circle, stick to a path?
    Thanks

    The string of pearls was done on CS2
    The orange "pearls" had a stroke weight of 40 pt, Dash 0, Gap 42 and a new black stroke behind with a weight of 42 pt.
    Then the stroke was copied, coloured just white and moved a bit to make the white "highlights". Weight 10 pt, Dash 0, Gap 42.
    I suppose, if one could be bothered, it would be possible to make a string of pearls with alternating big and small pearls by using a combination of dash settings on New Strokes. Should work all right as long as the Dash is a constant or an exact multiple. I can't be bothered!
    I don't understand that bit about having the last gap as 0. The pearls came out fine with just one setting for the dash and one for the gap. The other boxes weren't filled in.

  • 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...

  • Dashed or dotted line

    How can I draw a line that is dashed or dotted in word document? I know how to use the tools window, but how do I make the line dashed or dotted?
    intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Special case: Dotted line fill to a Tab postion.
    You can use a dotted or dashed lin to fill the space from the end of a line of text to a tab position by formatting the tab stop.
    Easier to demonstrate than explain:
    Open a New WP Document.
    Set a Left tab at the 5 inch mark.
    Double click the tab marker to open the tab fomat dialogue.
    Click one of the three non-highlighted 'fill' buttons.
    Click OK to accept the setting and close the dialogue.
    Press tab.
    A line of the fill character should be inserted from the left margin (ie the end of the line of text) to the tab position.
    Text added to the beginning of the line (ei. before the tab stop) will replace the fill characters it covers. Text added after the tab stop will be appended to the end of the line of fill characters.

    Barry

  • Line style of Word tables is ignored. Broken lines or dotted lines appear as uninterrupted lines

    Bug in Adobe XI:
    The line style of Word tables is ignored. Broken lines or dotted lines in Word tables are shown as normal uninterrupted lines in PDF file.
    For example, in my Word document I choose the following line styles in tables: dotted line (.........................) or broken line ( - - - - - - - - - - - - ).
    In the PDF file, all lines are shown as normal uninterrupted lines (__________________), even if I zoom in 800% or more.
    Is there a solution for this problem? (In FreePDF, it works well, but FreePDF has other disadvantages and therfore is no solution for me.)

    Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
    smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated  permit_mynetworks  check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access  reject_non_fqdn_hostname  reject_invalid_hostname  permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
    The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
    However, that's not the problem.
    I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
    It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions.  You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
    You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
    My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up.  Private/policy I think relates to grey listing.  Maybe gives you a hint.

  • I can't see my photos! They appear as dotted lines in a square shape.

    when i click on my library or any of the subfolders, most of my photos aren't showing up. i know the image is still there, but i can't see it. instead of a thumbnail pix, there is just a white dotted line in the shape of a square where the pix should be and it's title displayed under it.
    when i double click on the dotted line box, and it brings it up big in the 'edit' box, there is an ! in the middle of the dotted line square. i tried updating the iphoto version to 6 and that seemed to work fine, but still most of my pix aren't showing up.
    maybe 5% of my pix are still showing up, inner mixed with the 95% that have become dotted lines.
    help!
    B- :O)

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    If this fails then it is likely that you have a damaged database file.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Regards
    TD
    The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
    Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    Regards
    TD

  • Dotted lines in Indesign turn into thick bulky lines in PDF (Adobe Reader)

    Hi there
    Got a situation that is really confusing me, i have dotted lines in indesign that look perfect thin and in a light grey, however when i export this and view it in adobe reader/acrobat or when i upload my pdf online, the lines turn into thick black bulky lines? I have ensured that 'compression for line art and text' is unticked,  can anyone help me understand this?
    As my pdf is for viewing online I would really want the lines to not ruin the whole page
    Many thanks
    what line is supposed to look like and and what it looks like in adobe reader/ acrobat

    I've been having the same problem.
    After seeing Larry's comment it occurred to me that my Mac automatically opens all files that I export to pdf in 'Preview', and this is what I have been using to view the pdfs each time. I deliberately opened the same files using Adobe Reader, and the dots are fine.
    So perhaps it's just a problem with 'Preview'? Unfortunately I think my printer is using Preview too, as 2 recent jobs have been printed with those awful clumsy dots
