Hello!

 

I'm creating a dashed line in lllustrator and the first and last dash of every line is shorter than the rest of the dashes. Images attached. Any thoughts appreciated!

 

thanks,

 

Megan

Megan,

 

As I (mis)understand it, in the Dashed Line part click the leftmost Dashes pattern instead of the rightmost one. The latter gives you half a dash on either side of a corner as well as at start and end.

I don't get anything from the supposedly "Correct Answer". Is there a way to fix this?

Please show your object, the appearance panel and the stroke panel.
