To select a solid or dashed line:
1 In the Paint Style palette with the
Stroke box selected and a Stroke Weight
entered, choose from these options:
• Select the Solid option to create a
solid line.
• Select the Dashed option to create a
dashed line; then specify a dash
sequence by entering the lengths of
dashes and the gaps between them in
the Dash Pattern text boxes. As with the
line weight, you can enter a value in
inches (“in”) or millimeters (“mm”), and
Illustrator will convert it to an equal
value in points.
If you selected the Auto option, the
paint attributes are automatically
applied.
2 If the Auto option is not selected in
the Paint Style palette, click Apply or
press Return to paint the selected
object.
