Blue box around stroke style none


Recommended Posts

Every version so far has had the blue box shown in the attached picture, only on the left Stroke panel.

 

To get a dashed line simply draw a line or an object. Select the dashed (third) option.  Adjust the thickness of the stoke until the desired weight is achieved, until it's about 3 pt thick it's hard to see under the bounding box.  Then at the bottom of the stoke panel there will be a line Dash: 1  1  0  0  Phase: 0.  Change the first 1 to get the length of the dash you want.  The second 1 is changed to affect the space between the dashes.  The two 0's can be used to create a dish dot effect.  The Phase controls where the line starts and ends.  My first problem was not having the weight of the line thick enough to see the line.

The third option then is using the brushes.  Draw a line then go to the Stroke pallet and select the third option.  Then go to the Brushes pallet (on the right of the screen) and select a brush you are interested in.  There are some odd ones near the bottom of the default assortment which will show the effect the most.  Click on one and the line you drew should change to use it.  You can double click a brush to make some changes to it.

 

You are right the dashed is in the beta.  The new beta is pretty stable.  Good luck.
