Is there a way to create custom dotted/dashed lines?

I attempted this with Copy Along Path.

Make sure you start with the start node of the path or some wild looking stuff will happen.

I drew a challenging path. Start node ls lower left. I drew it roughly counterclockwise and closed it. I don’t believe that closing it is essential.

Then I drew the dash and the dot on another layer and grouped the dash-dot.

I aligned the end of my line sample to the start node.

Then I used the rotate tool to get it close.

Then with the dash dot selected, I selected the path.

Click Arrange, click Copy Along Path…

The pattern repeats every 5.5mm so that was my distance.

Then I turned off the layer with the path in it.

It’s not perfect but I’ll test the Warp tool in the corners.

:slight_smile:

Pick a rough looking corner.

Select the dash-dot group

This is how it starts
