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

This only applies 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

    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 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 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.
