Changing the size of dashes/dots in ties
These steps only apply to dashed/dotted ties.
Prerequisite
-
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 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 .
You can also change the thickness of all tie styles on this page. However, you cannot change the thickness of ties individually.
