In Illustrator CS5, there are some new features in the stroke panel for creating dashed lines. Follow along with Jeff Witchel as he goes through options for setting up a dash pattern, creating rounded dashes, dotted dashes, and adding color to dashes and even the gaps in between the dash marks.

    Hi Jeff,

    I don’t know if you intended to upload this particular video as you can hear your own personal edits (e.g. @ 27 seconds). Not a big deal, just thought you might want to know.

    absolutely fantastic; working on a large mapping project and this has saved many hours by creating cool bike path lines, walking path lines, etc.

    Thanks Jeff

    Jeff,
    I am having an issue when making my menu the underlines are now dashed and I am a rookie with Illustrator CS5 and are having a difficlut time making them a solid line. When I view the page they look solid, but print dashed. Can you help?
