Dashes Print Longer

Postby jmorrison » Tue Apr 28, 2009 1:46 am

Has anyone else had issues with dashed lines printing longer than they appear on the screen?

I just tried it and yes, they did seem to print off just a little bit longer. I do not think that I would have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it though.

The only way that I could tell that they were longer was that I used a square then applied a dashed line to the stroke and when I looked at the corners on one of them a line had wrapped around to another side where as on the screen it had not.

I don't really know what to do to fix it besides going in and manually drawing the dashes. For what purpose do you need the dashes to be so exact?

Didn't realize there was a response to this back when I first posted it. I found a workaround. It seems like if there is an object that has an opacity below 100%, the dashed lines will appear longer when printing. For me, it isn't a matter of cm but the lines are appearing up to 3 times as long as intended.
