no dashed line on picture frame


Recommended Posts

I am able to assign a visible dashed line to this frame after first resetting its fill & stroke via the Defaults button in menu bar.

Possibly one single corrupted object? How was it created on that page?

I can’t check the file right now, but you won’t be able to switch to a dashed line style if the current stroke has a pressure profile applied.

Indeed, that's it. – More precisely:
– A pressure profile appears to be assigned all time, but once it is other than default a dashed line does not appear.
– Even with a customized pressure curve, you can switch from brush to dashed and define dashed properties but 'simply' won't see them as dashed.

– There are 2 places to assign pressure, and obviously they may appear contradictory:

– There are 2 places to assign line width, which may show different values (pink):
– As soon you alter Width in the section titled "Stroke" (too!) which opens by click on "Properties", then its Pressure pop-up jumps from "None" to "Pressure".

Bit confusing, buggy UI.
(which might be related to not functioning of both brush options "Variance" as an AfPublisher Persona).

Great, thanks so much, guys!

To meet user expectations it would be helpful if for dashed lines Publisher just ignored an applied pressure curve (but if the user switched to a different stroke stile it’d still be here).

Really? - Why should not a combination of dashed and brushed become enabled instead?

I would rather say that the UI would win on newly arranged sections (and/or their options) to make those properties at a glance visible that interact with each other.

(btw., the 4 stroke style buttons 508588009_stroke-sectionsstyle1-4.jpg.96f9aa93e59cbf74c8c2b32968bda62b.jpg imply to be mutually exclusive – whereas their settings are not.)
