Greetings,

I'm able to make dashed lines using the Stroke panel, but how to you just load or save a dashed style, if possible? I'm looking for something similar to the built in dashed line option in InDesign. Thanks for you help on this.

Save it as a graphic style. with the panel of the same name.

Just drag an object into the panel that has the dashed line applied.

Then save those graphic styles asa library or put them into your New document profile.

That worked. Thank you.

Is there a way to have this "dashed line" graphic style load by default once I do "Save graphic style library" or do I have to always pick it from the "User defined menu" for a new doc? Thanks again.

What you can do is either:

- save it as a library, then load that library and from the library panel menu check "Persistent"

or

- save it in your template or New document profile (process is the same as when changing the default font: https://youtu.be/5kcrHjSbN5k )
