chornung 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 [using Visual Chartform 3.2] I don't seem to be able to create a 2 Point Dashed or Dotted line, whether Connector or drawn. The line is 2 Point Solid when chart is generated. If I go in to Properties for that line, I first have to enable, then disable, the Transparent check box in order to change from Solid to Dashed, as everything is grayed out. But, even though 2 Point is selected, it appears like a thinner 1 Point dashed line. Even if I go back in and (after enable/disabling the Transparent check box to un-gray choices) change from 2 Point to 1 Point to 2 Point in order to select 2 Point + Dashed (or Dotted), it comes out as 2 Point Solid. Bottom line: How do I get a 2 Point line that is not Solid? This happens whether it is a Connector line generated with the chart, or a line drawn with the toolbar button. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks! ~Carol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Virginia Blakelock 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 Carol - As far as I know you can only make dashed and dotted lies with 0 point (1-pixel) in VCF. Being able to make thicker dashed/dotted lines is on the wishlist. Instead of using the Transparent option, select the 0 point (1-pixel) option to make the dashed or dotted line.

RobinL 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 Carol - Virginia is correct. This is a known limitation of the application library that Visual Charform uses. Try copying and then pasting the same line over itself. The last one becomes the top copy. Select it and changes its properties say 0 pixel dashed in a pale colour. To adjust the width and colour of the original send the top version to the back. Now select the the top copy and change its properties, than send that to the back to see the effect. See the attached example of 2 of many pssible outcomes. RobinL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
