Choose the Pen Tool, tap on the dashed line icon in the Stroke Studio and adjust the dash pattern to suit.

Hi @acsimon,

In addition to Alfred's post

For dashed line styles, a Dash number grid appears at the bottom of the panel which sets the Dash pattern using two number pairs:

  • The first two values set the size of the initial dash and subsequent space.
  • The third and fourth values, when set, introduce a more complex dash pattern by setting a different size for alternate dashes and spaces.

The Phase value allows you to 'shift' the dash line style along so the design begins at a different point in the style's sequence. This can have an impact on how dash lines display for closed shapes (see below).

Thanks,

Gabe.

Also, notice the line end styles in the advanced section. The round, butt and square line ends change how the dashes/dots appear. Both the round and square will show a dot even it the dot value is 0. The butt at zero shows nothing.
