Dear developers of Activstudio,

It would be extremely good to have possibility to change style of lines. Not the thickness, but the way how it looks. For example teachers of mathematics need dashed lines to draw "invisible" lines in 3d shapes.
At present the only possibility to get necessary line is to draw normal line, then take Eraser tool and make interruptions. And finally group the line together with all the little objects of eraser tool. It is a solution, but my suggestion is to provide in further Activstudio versions line formatting option. Thank you!




Kind regards,

Elina

Thanks for your request and prividing an example. Dotted and dashed line styles has been noted for review for potential inclusion in future versions of the software.

One thing you can also do is alter the 'transparency' of an annotation to suggest invisible lines... In version 3 you double click the line and adjust the slider.

This can work well if a different colour is used.

I agree with elina, but in the mean time, elina, when I make 3d shapes, I use the eraser tool to make my dashed lines it is a help.

I just want to second the suggestion for a future capability for dashed and dotted lines. I've heard this desire expressed by many teachers, particularly math teachers.+wave+
