How to make a dashed line in Adobe Illustrator CS4
I’m posting this because I couldn’t find anything simple on this! Everyone talking about making a new brush and having to add it after you draw a vector, confusing, too much work!
Maybe it’s easier in CS4 than CS3, but here’s how it’s done easily.
Before you draw your line, box, that’s supposed to be dotted or dashed, go to ‘Stroke’ as shown here:
Click on the blue word ‘Stroke’ it will open the stroke options box.
Click to Check the box next to Dashed Line.
Then you can specify the length of the dash and spaces between, that’s it!
Now select your line or box you want to draw and draw it! Dotted lines! That was easy!
Easy.
