Hi! trying to create a nice even and small size dash lines like this Screenshot - 09438fc7a2879e0ee3e1c189aa4eb4a1 - Gyazo (This was created in paint.net, my older software) im trying to recreate it but i get uneven dash lines like this Screenshot - 582855eb18d2a6be625d1a263d79e55f - Gyazo any recommendations? Thanks! Also while im at it, does adobe have an effect that creates "clouds" like this? Screenshot - 835dc4860495468695be7406437db3d8 - Gyazo

I agree with Monika on using Align Dash to Corners.

For the clouds effect, make a shape and try applying Effect > SVG Filters > AI_Alpha_4 or AI_Woodgrain.

fresx,

How about this:

1) Create the path with a solid Stroke in the first colour,

2) In the Appearance palette flyout Add New Stroke with the second colour, set the Gap and Dash as desired,

3) For corner Anchor Points, ClickDrag a wee bit (in the right direction) with the Convert Anchor Point Tool, just enough to get the look right?

The first one: you could try and turn off the dash alignment to corners (it's the 2 buttons to the right)

The second one: looks like difference clouds in Photoshop.
