Question

How do I widen the thickness of hash mark pen pattern

I am working in FM11. I need to have a caution border around pages from one chapter in my book. I took the hash mark pattern from set pen pattern and made a rectangle on a master page. The thickness of the rectangle is fine and I see how to change that. I would like to make the pattern itself thicker meaning the diagonal marks have more white space before and after the color hash mark.

    You can't tweak this directly in FM.


    You could do it using postscript code within a Postscript text frame on the Master Page, but this requires some ps coding.


    Best way to do it would be to use a drawing package like Illustrator or CorelDraw and create a custom border there, export as EPS and import onto the Master page.
