    Always end a custom line style with a dash

    AskInga logo 

    Original Tip Date: April 2005

    Always end a custom line style with a dash  
    With thanks to Bentley's Rudi Wells for this great tip!

    To force a custom line style to always end with a dash, simply change the Stroke Pattern Attribute called Shift to centered.

    This will eliminate any confustion when snapping to ends of elements that may finish with a gap rather than a dash.
