Selecting All Dashed Lines

Greetings all,
I am using Illustrator CS3 for Mac and was wondering if there is there a way to select all dashed lines within a given Illustrator project? I can't use Select->Same->Stroke Color or Select->Same->Stroke Weight because there are other lines that share these same attributes that I don't want to select. Any and all help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Best way is to go to

How to select all the lines of table control

PROBLEM SOLVED

I need to pick in bulk and select all the lines of the orders each order alone

I have 100 sales order
I need to pick in bulk in one LPN or without LPN for the 100 sale order
at staging I need to separate them by orders
I need to pack each order alone
the prder may have different item
when I finish the first order I will continue the second

Hello Alemand,
Can you please answer this question so I understand better.
1. If you want to ship the orders separately as individual deliveries then why are you trying to bulk pick?
Knowing your operational need would help better direct you.
Thanks

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!

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?

Disappeared dashed lines options

very often when I want to adjust the spacing for the dashed lines in Indesign cs6, the options disappear in the stroke flyout panel.
Strangely, it remains disappeared for the specified file forever. The workaround that I do for this is that I open a new file, make the dashed lines as desired, (yeah, the options come in a new file), then copy paste it. What exactly is causing this weird behaviour?

Here's my screenshot with everything selected. I have yet to trash my preferences. currently learning to backup my shortcuts . Does this problem occur in the latest version of indesign which is CC?
I'm always beware of new versions, often they are heavier and take longer time to process, e.g. photoshop cs6 i found slower than cs5
You haven't select the Dashed Line at the bottom of the Type options.
You have 2 different stroke weights selected, that's why weight shows as nothing.
Bold part: That's just not true for everyone, in fact I find each version of all the Adobe suites to run perfectly fine - there may be something you need to change on your system to get the programs to work better. But I never notice any difference from version to version regarding longer times to process.

FM10, Dashed Line Pattern

In the Graphics Toolbar of FM10, when I select "Set Dashed Line Pattern", as soon as I select the dashed line, the window closes down, before I get a chance to click "Select" at the bottom of this window. I am thus unable to select the style of dashed line I want to use. Is this a bug in FM10, or am I making a mistake in the way I try to do this action? When I try to click "Selected Dashed Line Pattern" next to it, nothing opens up.

Kathi,
It sounds to me like a misunderstanding of that little pop-up box. It serves two purposes:
Select the dash style using the Set button, which opens the style selection dialog
Select whether the current graphic object will use a solid line or a dashed line using the upper two buttons
The assumed workflow might be this:
Click Select and select the dash style you plan to use most of the time.
Select any graphic object and click either the Dashed Line or Solid Line buttons.
If you want to change the dash style of an already dashed object, select the object and then use the Select button to open the dash settings window and select a new style.

Keynote 09: can you control length of dashes in a dashed line?

Previous versions let you control the length of the dashes in a dashed line. Now, not so much. Or have I missed some secret way to alter the length of the dashes?
This retrogression in functionality is super annoying. Why would anyone think that (a) all dashed lines would look best at the same length of dashes, and (b) keeping the ability to control the length of dashes would be too confusing?

Using Select all to create multiple lines in a sales order

Hello SAP experts,
In our business practice users create multiple line sales orders with reference to contracts and use the copy paste method and then assign each line to the contract manually.
After a few years of this practice i found a new way to create multiple lines but it doesn't quite work correctly. When you have created the first line of an order if you click on the select all button the system will ask you how many lines do you want to copy. I don't know if this is standard SAP but 3 things don't happen when we use this 1) The schedule line information is blank 2) conditions do not copy from the contract even though the contract has been referenced. 3) Since there is no schedule line information the order fails when saving and we get a update terminated message.
I am having problems finding any documentation around this function so any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
error when updating is
Transaction..   VA01

Jsfl to select all fills or lines on screen

Hello All,
Does anyone know the syntax to select all the fills on the
screen? I need to take all the fills on the screen and convert them
to a movieclip, then take all the lines and convert them to another
movieclip.
I will then be giving them all instance names and then
repeating the process about 6000 times, hence the need for a
command to speed the process. I have the instance name and convert
to movieclip functionality working, I just need the code to select
fills and lined individually.
Thanks,
Nomadic Design

I've never had that happen on my MBairs. If it's new I'd take it back or call applecare since it's under warranty.

Dashed line "Dash" & "Gap" options

Hey all, looking for a CS3 tip here.
I use a lot of dashed strokes, and I've found that when I enter values in the Dash and Gap boxes, I later can't delete the values entirely. I can delete whatever I entered, but Illustrator won't leave the box blank - it now fills the box with 0 point.
For example, I create a path, turn on Dashed Line, then enter 2 point Dash, 1 point Gap, and accidentally Tab to the third box. Once the focus has been put on that third box, it won't remain blank, the best I can have is 0 point. So now continuing the example, my stroke is 2 point dash, 1 point gap, 0 point dash (slightly visible on screen, invisible in print), 1 point gap, and repeat. The net effect is that it looks like a 2 point dash followed by a 2 point gap.
Any way to reset the box to contain NO information? It's bugging me because once I've created one of these "bad" dashed strokes, I either have to fudge my values to make it look right, or quit illustrator and start over because the bad values are persistent any time I turn on the dashed line checkbox until Illustrator is quit.

I'm deleting everything in the box, and just to be sure, I've tried clicking in the box and hitting command-a to select all, then hitting delete. But whether I do it that way or drop the cursor in at the end tap delete repeatedly, it still auto-fills "0 pt" when I leave the box.
As to the second point, I always try emptying the boxes from right back to the left. I get the effect you describe if I empty the first box - they all reset to blank and the "dashed line" checkbox changes to unchecked. But the moment I try to put a dashed line on a path again, it refills with the previous setting, including the 0 pt entries on the right most boxes that I would hope to stay blank.
I take it your installation doesn't replicate the behavior I'm experiencing? I will be upgrading to Leopard just as soon as I have a slump - I can just wait to see if a clean installation of Illustrator takes care of it.
Thanks.

Missing photos -- dashed lines

I recently installed iPhoto 6.
In the default, "organize" view, several pictures have now been replaced by rounded-square outlines in dashed lines. The pic titles are still there, but no pics. Double-clicking to edit these missing photos brings up a blank screen in edit mode.
I'm not even able to delete these squares.
What's up?

Select one of the files in the Originals folder and bring up the Info window on it, Command-I. Then under Default Application assign Preview and click on the Change All.. button. If that doesn't help check my posts in this thread.

Dashed line in muse?

When will I be able to create a dashed line in muse?

Double-click the line drawing tool. Now, at the bottom of the toolbar, select the line box (just above the big 'T'. Now select the black-and-white pattern palette (the second one down). Choose a suitable pattern - I suggest starting with the third down in the first column.
Thanks. That did it. I didn't know about the "line formatting" button (or the other two formatting buttons, for that matter). I knew about the pattern palette, but thought it only applied to area fills. I also discovered that I could apply a dashed attribute to an existing line by clicking on the "line formatting" button, selecting a line, and then using the pattern palette.
Maybe it's always been this way, but I find that I now always have one of the three lower-left "formatting buttons" selected. Is there a way to arrange for all three to be deselected, or shouldn't I worry about it?

How to removed dashed lines from "Page Break View"?

Hi,
In Excel 2010, I found that once “Page Break View” is selected, there will be dashed lines across the view even after returning to “Normal” view. These dashed lines can be distracting.
Is there a way to remove them?
Bob

Yes use
File -> Options -> Advanced
Scroll down to Display options for this worksheet and remove the tick in Show Page breaks.
Unfortunately it's sheet specific so you'll have to do it everytime it happens until you've done all the sheets.
Unless you develope some VB to do it for you,

Dashed lines around graphics

I have little dashed lines that are appearing around all
graphics inserted
into the page. I checked other sites I have created and they
don't have
these lines ... so, it isn't the program in general, it must
be an option
that has turned on ???
Thanks

You're welcome. I turned off the aids for a while as well,
then realized
that they were helpful sometimes in seeing where borders of
items are.
You can pick a div by clicking on its line, or see its
properties by
hovering over the border, for instance.
Good luck,
Harvey
