Greetings, I am trying to created schematics using dotted lines but seem to be having a really tough time. An example would be an 8.5x11 sheet with two perforated or dotted lines so that - after separation - there would be 4 equally size 5.5" x 4.25" sections. The border would be a solid line. This is one of 30+ designs I need to create and am hoping there's an easy way of doing it. I am using Adobe Photoshop Version: 19.1.4 20180507.r.325 2018/05/07: 1170750 x64.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Mike

Correct answer Lumigraphics

Create guides where you want the dotted lines. Use the line tool, set to shape (as shown above.)

Or download Inkscape if you want a free, pro-caliber drawing app.

Hi MIke,

I'd suggest to use Illustrator for a task like that, it has a better pattern tool and you can be more precise than Photoshop https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/illustrator/using/create-edit-patterns.html

Appreciate your reply. Thing is, I have already subscribed for with Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Lightroom and Illustrator would be another $20/month. Apparently there's no perpetual Illustrator available.

Ron,

I tried that (see screen shot). Am I missing something?
