How to make dashed / dotted lines on a curve

[PRSS]

Hello everybody

I want to create a fountain with the water flowing depicted as dashed or dotted lines. I know there is a script in smustard.com to create this. Since I could not posses an International credit card I cannot purchase this.

Is there a free plugin for this or is there a method to do this.

Thanks in advance

Rich's, Pen Tool might do what you want. I'm thinking the 'Guide Draw' tool might be what you need. I haven't tried but you might try making the desired curve, exploding that curve, and then tracing over the individual segments with the 'Guide Draw' tool, deleting the original curves.

Interesting approach to your problem. I'm interested to see how it turns out.

What about TIG's 2Dtools? There is a 2d Linestyle selection in the toolset.

You can draw them as arcs and use 'xline' to make the arcs into guides...its free: http://www.smustard.com/script/Xline

Thanks everybody. The Xline tool works fine for this job. I have attached a screen shot of the pic.
