Changing the size of dashes/dots in ties
These steps only apply to dashed/dotted ties.
Prerequisite
-
The lower zone is shown.
-
Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.
-
If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.
-
You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.
Procedure
-
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.
-
- In the Properties panel, activate Dash/dot in the Ties group.
- Change the value in the value field.
Result
Increasing the value makes dashes/dots bigger, decreasing the value makes dashes/dots smaller. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
You can change the default size of dashes/dots in all dashed/dotted ties project-wide
.You can also change the thickness of all tie styles on this page. However, you cannot change the thickness of ties individually.
