5.15.2 Stroke Line Style
•
One additional
Stroke
setting deserves its own subsection because it also affects how a shape will be
drawn or cut by your cutter.
•
The
Line Style
can be either solid or dashed. If dashed is selected, then one of the
default patterns can be
selected or you can specify the dash length and spacing desired by clicking on
Edit
:
The
Line Style
selected will be displayed on the screen and will be cut or drawn with that style by the
cutter. Again, the
Stroke Width
, however, is ignored by the cutter.
