[Qgis-user] Dotted line symbol in QGIS
Hi I have a boundary layer that I want to symbolise with a dotted line. The outer boundary appears ok, but where two polygons are adjacent to each other, the dotted line becomes virtually solid (indicated below). How can I make these lines appear the same as my outer boundary lines...

Re: [Qgis-user] Dotted line symbol in QGIS
Hi Stefan Yes I can do that, just wondered if there were any settings I could change before I added another symbol - did look at the blend modes but none seemed to work. Its ok I can do it that way.

Re: [Qgis-user] Dotted line symbol in QGIS
Hey Stefan, Neat trick/idea with the white line. I'll have to write that one down. Hmm, I wonder instead of white though, if you could convert that to transparent as well . . . .

Re: [Qgis-user] Dotted line symbol in QGIS
Here is another solution that would work if you are not mapping live data, and you can use a derived product. Convert your polygon dataset to lines. The, use VectorDissolve to remove duplicated lines where they are overlapping. David.

Thanks David although we are using live data. Stefan’s approach is a good one so I think I will continue with that, thanks for everyone’s responses Chris From: David Fawcett [mailto:david.fawc...@gmail.com] Sent: 17 April 2015 17:01 To: Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul) Cc: Ziegler Stefan; Chris Buckmaster; qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] Dotted line symbol in QGIS Here is another solution that would work if you are not mapping live data, and you can use a derived product.
