How can I stroke a line with dashes instead of a single line?

[Ocean 11]

The logic was would be edit-stroke- select mode - dashed line.

This feature doesn't exist.

How can I stroke a selection with the line tool in dashes instead of a full line?

In the twentyfirst version of Photoshop it is still a huge problem to make a single dashed line. Why why why?

I have the same problem.  I can't get a dashed line and I've looked at so many tutorials!  I don't have the "stroke" option that it shows.  I have Photoshop CS5.  Here's a screenshot of what I have when using the pen tool:

That’s too old for Shape Layer strokes if I remember correctly. 

Sticking with obsolete software means that one cannot take advantage of features implemented in newer versions.

You seem to be mistaken.

And why do you want to apply a Stroke to a Selection instead of a Shape Layer? 

Also what does the Line Tool have to do with this?

dneill79,

In photoshop cs5 use the Dotted Strokes layer styles.
