better dash dot lines

how can i do dash dot line in photoshop in ANY angle ?
line like ". ... . ... . ..." - i can do that in horizontal or vertical by filling the selection but if i want it in some weird angle i just cant find a way. stroking a path doesnt seem to help. and also, i dont want to rotate the horizontal line that i can do cos its not so sharp then. i need it completely sharp. something like patterned line... is there such thing or work around on this ? thank u

Deja vu. What's with all the dotted and dashed lines lately?

Have you seen this thread? Does that help? If not explicitly explain why...maybe there are variations of that method that may work.

hey. just was surfing thru that post and thought it'll work but actually it doesnt. i mean its great for single doted lines -like "...." but if u make brush ". ... . ...", then output is not nice. cos when photoshop rotate brush ". ..." it looks just like "..." so its not usable for what i need. but thanks anyway.

Have you looked at the "old method" I linked to? it might help you to acheive what you want...

i checked now, interesting. maybe possible with strokng the path mulitle times with eraser and pencil but thats too much hassle. well i'll keep this in mind when i really need it.

That method just uses brushes too, just like what I did.

What do you need it for? How precise do you need it. You may just need to totally create it by hand.

Have you tried using this method to make a dotted line, say with a square brush and spacing set to 200% then going over that with the same brush but the spacing set to 300% percent. That can give you a dot dash dot effect.

nothin particular...i just like to play with this dashed lines so i was curious if there is quick -or not so long way to create them. yes i tried those different spacings and it is a bit of solution,but not total u know. shud not be problem when i REALLY need it, by hand or whatever.

at least i now know which ways to go when i actually need that...

This comes up often.

Illustrator is the way to go.

Utopian, I left it to you, I was about to post it in my reply ;)
