Making a line dashed or dotted
Changing the stroke style of a line to dashed or dotted
- Make sure the swatch window is open by selecting
Window > Stroke
. - In the Stroke window, click the upper top-right corner to open up a menu. Select Show Options.
- Select the line(s) you’d like to make dashed or dotted.
- Check the box marked “Dashed line,” and fill in a “dash” and a “gap” value - maybe try 1 dash and 3 gap to start off with.
Note: In this example I have grouped all of the grid lines together previously, which is why I’m able to just click one to select them all. You can also do a
Select > Same
if you exported then at a unique line weight or color.
