3. Re: transform dashed lines into separate (small)lines
ellenalida Jul 23, 2010 5:38 AM (in response to Steve Fairbairn)I used a trick and waiting now to see if production will accept...
I gave the lines a weight of 0.0001 pt... and then used expand transparency.
Hopefully it works!!!
Thanks for the replies.

4. Re: transform dashed lines into separate (small)lines
JETalmage Jul 23, 2010 5:50 AM (in response to ellenalida)Don't use a Dash stroke. Use a Pattern Brush consisting of a short open path. Widen the Brush's invisible tile path to create the desired gap relative to the dash lenght. Apply to paths, then Expand Appearance.

9. Re: transform dashed lines into separate (small)lines
SmartGraphicArt Jun 24, 2014 5:45 AM (in response to ellenalida)I know this is an old topic, but I'm still looking for a good solution to this. Using the pattern brush works if you're not concerned with accuracy. I'm converting engineering drawings for a very particular (government) client, and the dashed pattern of long and short dashes as well as the line weight has to be exact. There just doesn't seem to be enough control of the pattern using the pattern brush. And like the OP, I don't want expanded objects.
