How to create dotted Line Style in Layout?

[jonathanjmaddox]

How can you make round dotted dashed line style in layout?

[DaveR]

Like this?

Select the dotted Dash style and click on the Rounded button (where the cursor is).

[jonathanjmaddox]

Yes, but for some reason my layout still makes them elongated and not round. I used your settings.

@jonathanjmaddox

my layout

We’re using the same version of LayOut.

Your photo of the screen makes it impossible to tell which of the dash styles you selected. It doesn’t look like you picked the dotted line.

Maybe you selected the short dashes like I have here.

I doubled checked, I’m using doted line. Also running current version of layout. Version 26.1.189 64bit.

Thanks,

Share your LayOut file so I can see the exact settings you have.

Also running current version of layout. Version 26.1.189 64bit.

Yes. I am, too. And 64-bit is the only option.

I attached the file.

I opened your file and immediately I see this.

I had forgotten it but I realized I had turned of the Experimental Graphics Engine. When I turned it on the dots turned into ovals. Turn off the Experimental Graphics Engine in Preferences>Performance and see if you get the same thing.

@adam, pinging you to see if this is a known thing and to ask if it qualifies as a bug.

[jonathanjmaddox]

Yup, that worked! Thank you.

[adam]

That definitely does not look like it is correct. Thanks for the ping. We will investigate this internally.
