Hi Craig,
FrameMaker doesn't support dashed lines in table rules. You can do dashed lines in InDesign tables, but not FrameMaker. Rick Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. 585-283-5045 rick at frameexpert.com From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Craig Ede Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 6:08 PM To: 'Framer's List' Subject: Wanted: dashed line for FM table ruling Framers, Is there any way to get an actual broken line rule pattern in FrameMaker tables? My human factors guys insist that I do a certain table with dashed rulings. I know about the Edit button in Custom Ruling and Shading and that it allows editing of the width and "tone" of the rulings by choosing Edit Ruling Style. The Pen Patterns percentages of 3, 10, 30, etc. %, are not what is wanted, since these percentages just affect how gray the line is and not how "dashed" it is. I know that FrameMaker's screen representations of the tones look like broken lines, but they aren't. ["All is illusion"]. In the PDF the percentage just results in a lighter tone of gray. Does anyone know if broken line rules are even possible? Thanks. Craig -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
