Answer 1

Do you want it as random as the example or do you just want an evenly spaced dashed line? If random, you will have to draw each segment with the pen tool. If a regular dashed line, then draw a single line with two points and in the stroke options check the Dashed Line box and see what you get. The default is a 12 pt. dash with an equal gap. If you want a longer or shorter gap, put a larger or smaller number in the second field.
