I need to create graphics with a dotted stroke that looks like the marching ants in photoshop but doing it manually is a very tedious task using the pen tool. Is there a way to convert your selections into a stroked path that appears like a marching ant selection.

Might be a tad small. (But recognizable nonetheless.)

And did you rotate the lines? Like I said previously I think they are at a 45˚.

Does this look like the marching ants? Is it good enough?

Thanks a lot for your help; not precisely what I wanted, but this will work.

To explain it better, i converted the selection to a working path and now I want to make that path dotted/dashed so that it looks like the marching ants.
