Changing the size of gaps in dashed/dotted ties

You can change the size of the gaps in dashed/dotted ties individually, independently of your project-wide settings.

Procedure

  1. Select the dashed/dotted tie chains whose gap size you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
    Note

    Any changes to tie chains in Write mode only affect the first tie in the chain.

  2. In the Properties panel, activate Gap in the Ties group.
  3. Change the value in the value field in any of the following ways:
    • Enter a value into the value field.

    • Click the arrows beside the value field.

Result

Increasing the value makes the gaps between dashes/dots larger. Decreasing the value makes the gaps between dashes/dots smaller.

Tip

You can find options to set the default size of the gaps between dashes/dots in all dashed/dotted ties project-wide by clicking Advanced Options in the Design section of the Ties page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
