Solid line instead of dotted line

Hello, I cannot figure out what I did so.. When I draw what I want to be a solid line it comes out as dashes and I cannot figure out how to turn off the dashes. This happens whether I use the strait line tool or the arc tool.?? I am on a Mac with 6
Thanks
Pete

Pete,
You should be able to select the path and then untick Dashed Line in the Stroke palette.
After that, the next paths should behave.

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.

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!

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.

[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.

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

Officejet 6310 prints solid black line instead of text.

Good day. My officejet 6310 has started printing a 3/8" solid black line instead of text. I've replaced both color and black cartridges. I've also run align and clean cartridges. Does anyone have helpful suggestions?

This type of result is often due to errors in the HP printer drivers. Several things can be tried. Sometimes, using a tested driver for an older, but compatible printer will do the job. A lot of folks used the use the HPLJ2 driver even with HPLJ3 and 4 systems. Another option is to try to print as a graphic. At this point, I can only suggest playing around with things. A lot of folks like the graphic driver aspect instead.
You might also consider printing to the printer in a PS mode rather than PCL if that option is available.
I am only suggesting things I have seen tried by various folks. I don't have a good explanation.

HT4259 I have looked all over for an explanation of the visual language of the "flowchart in airport utility-e.g., dotted lines vs solid; why the hierarchy of base stations in a network falls as it does and occasionally moves around?

I have looked all over for an explanation of the visual language of the "flowchart in airport utility 6.0 - e.g., dotted lines vs solid; why the hierarchy of base stations in a network falls as it does and occasionally moves around? Where will I find this explanation?

by falls did you mean fail?
Solid lines = Ethernet connection.
Dotted = WiFi.

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

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.

No dotted line around wrapper

I'm on only the 7th step of part II of "creating your first website" and already I've ran into problems. My wrapper has a solid line around it instead of a dotted line around the placeholder text. Afraid this will cause problems down the road even if I can still delete and put in the proper text. Using DW 2014 with PC. Need to find out quick so I can decide if this product is for me. Code below.
Thanks,

PDF of a blueprint comes up as a whole image instead of individual lines.

PDF of a blueprint comes up as a whole image instead of individual lines. I have tried tracing it and that does not pull out the individual lines also, stays a one image only. how do I get just the individual lines?

Several pdfs worked perfectly during my testing before going this route. it wasn't until later that I found some files have this issue. I can not find what the difference is between files that work and files that don't. Ones that work come up as individual lines right away, ones that don't are one solid image.
As Jacob mentioned in post #7, the file in question is a scanned (raster) image of an old drawing which may not even exist in vectors ('individual lines,' as it were) anymore, if it ever had. You can't make assumptions based on the fact that a file is in PDF format. A PDF can contain all raster image data, all vector data, and/or a mix of both.
What is the difference between vector and raster graphics?

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...
