Have you tried to use the pencil tool? you can do a dashed line with that tool.

you probably didn't get what i mean，i want to say，already drawn dashed line，How to convert to multiple individual line segments。

[Nick Gioia]

OK use the pencil tool to draw your dashed lines. Then select the dotted line. Then go to the top menu modify/shape/convert lines to fill. Each one of your dashes should now be individual. Hopefully, this works for you.

Split or break a dashed line into separate

Convert it to fills.

Modify > Shape > Convert Lines to Fills

I mean convert the line to a single stroke that keeps the stroke instead of filling the shape

Is it possible to achieve this through jsfl in animate?

[n. tilcheff]

I don't think so.

If you don't mind straight-stroke dashes, use the method shown in this video:

If you mean convert the line to individual strokes that stay like strokes instead of filled shapes then no, it can't be done.

As far as I know it can be done by script in illustrator

There is an option with a command that you have to create a one-line symbol, and use the command to distribute symbol along a path. Then you break the symbols and you have it.

Another option using the motion guide.
