P: Support for true Dashed and Dotted strokes

Love having this feature, but when I have more than one single line segment created with the pen tool (not a tiny rectangle created with the line tool) the dashed lines act as if the single line is a box and double up (stroke on outside, shown) or appear to be a solid line (middle stroke) or disappear (inside stroke).

I want to have multiple lines on a single layer so I don't have to edit multiple layers to make changes. Single / solo lines work fine.

it's awesome! but i have a question. can we convert these dotted or dashed outlines into shape? if not, there will be problem when scaling image if photoshop try to aspect thickness of path.

Great stuff!

Just found this discussion...I recently upgraded from PS CS 1 to CS 5.1 (talk about late!) and noticed when I use a solid brush with the Wacom, it kept appearing as a dotted line!

Drove me crazy as I could not get a solid drawn line. Then noticed that when I check the "Spacing" box as Brent originally suggested, I get my solid line. Problem is, I have to check every single brush variation/size (hard brush, soft brush, 1, 2, 3, and so on) to get it. That sounds ridiculous. There must be a way to get that spacing bar checked as a default, isn't there?

Any help gratefully appreciated. (Meantime, all those wishing to draw with a dotted line, you got your wish, at least somewhat!)

Thanks,
Mike

It would be better if it would be shape not brush.

"The people have spoken... dotted lines in photoshop (pixel perfect ideally) please!"

It would certainly be a nice addition.

I actually wrong an article on creating dotted and dashed lines in Photoshop this morning. http://iceflowstudios.com/2011/articl...

Might help a bit, but I agree, I would love to see this implemented in a future version of Photoshop.

It is the same thing if the code used to create this capability can be used in both scenarios, but the current stroke functionality within the layer style dialog is very distinct and different from the line tool.

yeah, it really does amount to the same request as this one.
