I'm trying to create dotted lines that are actually circles and not square shaped dots (the given option in the outline menu). Is the best/only way to do this by creating a new Artistic Media Brush? It seems like there should be an easier option when needing to create a long dotted line or a shape with a dotted outline.
Thanks!
I think Kiefer is looking for a way to create round/circular dots, not round dots in a circle. :) See the Outline variations, the dots are all square. I don't think we can make them circular. We can add an outline and use rounded ends and caps, but you only end up with a flat oval. You can create your own dotted outline, but the "dots" will always square.
So the best option is to create our own with Artistic Media object sprayer.
Oops
Greetings,
There is a way to change the "outlines" to produce dots. It was a hack/tweak in the code page that makes that happen, just a simple number change. It was posted in the newsgroups a few years ago and I do not remember what the change was. I am going to search my notes, hopefully I can find it. If I can I will post it here. Might have been posted by a guy named Fisher?? An old corel tech from upstate NY. Perhaps some other people that have been around for a while will remember it. Foster, Michael C ???? I know you guys seen it.
