Changing the size of dashes/dots in ties

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

These steps only apply to dashed/dotted ties.

Procedure

  1. Select the dashed/dotted ties whose dash/dot size you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
    Note
    • In Write mode, you can only select whole tie chains. In Engrave mode, you can select individual ties within tie chains.

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

  2. In the Properties panel, activate Dash/dot in the Ties group.
  3. Change the value in the value field.

Result

Increasing the value makes dashes/dots bigger, decreasing the value makes dashes/dots smaller.

Tip

You can find options to set the default size of 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.

You can also change the thickness of all tie styles on this page. However, you cannot change the thickness of ties individually.
