I create illustrations and artwork where I need to use dotted lines to simulate rows and fields of panel rivets. I need round dots, not rectangular or square ones.
Most of the artwork is very fine...much of the line width is hairline or .5, so the standard dotted line is so small nobody can see that it isn't round dots...but there are times when I want to simulate larger "rivets" and I am forced to create rows of circles. This is a ton of work when filling in hundreds of rivets on an aircraft wing! And worse when rivet patterns follow the shape of objects. I am working in X6.
