gskidmark Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Hello. I am trying to create a dash line that gets smaller/narrower as it goes from point A to point B. I have a layer where I am using the Pressure settings to make a stroke go from wide to narrow but can not find a method to do the same with the dash line. Can anyone recommend a method to do this? Hopefully, you can see that I am attempting to mimic a road and a line in the middle. Quote
Old Bruce Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I would try using the Appearance panel in the Designer application. Make a solid black line with a pressure setting as you have here. Make a solid yellow line and use the same pressure setting. Now make a dashed black line overtop of the yellow line. gskidmark 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
Ldina Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Another approach that works... Create a dashed line, set to yellow, using your desired spacing. Duplicate line, move to beneath the yellow dashed line, change to solid line, set to black and increase width for the road. Use Layer > Expand Stroke on both lines. Group them. Warp Filter > Perspective, and adjust the perspective as desired, which will adjust both layers for a vanishing point perspective. gskidmark and G13RL 2 Quote 2024 MacBook Pro M4 Max, 48GB, 1TB SSD, Sequoia OS, Affinity Photo/Designer/Publisher v1 & v2, Adobe CS6 Extended, LightRoom v6, Blender, InkScape, Dell 30" Monitor, Canon PRO-100 Printer, i1 Spectrophotometer, i1Publish, Wacom Intuos 4 PTK-640 graphics tablet
carl123 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Yet another approach... Create your black line with pressure curve Duplicate and resize it smaller to create your yellow line with (same) pressure curve Duplicate this yellow line and make it dashed Drag the dashed yellow line onto the solid yellow line's thumbnail to create a clipping mask dashed.afdesign Old Bruce and gskidmark 2 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
