To add dashes to pen and neon strokes 1 Depending on how you want dashes to apply, do one of the fol- lowing: •   To apply dashes to the current stroke, deselect all objects. •   To apply dashes to an object that has a pen or neon stroke, select the object. 2 Press the Strokes icon in the Toolbox to open the Strokes pal- ette. Choose the Dash tab. 3 Choose the dash sequence that you want in the list of presets. Removing arrows, dashes, and strokes You can remove a selected object’s stroke, or set the current stroke to “no stroke,” so you can create objects that have no stroke. An object that has no stroke has no visible outline. Objects drawn with the Line tool become invisible without a stroke; other objects are still visible if they have a visible fill ink. You can also remove dashes and arrows from a stroke. Because arrows and dashes are attributes of strokes, you can remove them without removing the entire stroke. Removing arrows, dashes, and strokes involves the same procedure as changing from one preset stroke to another. To remove arrows or dashes You can use the following procedure to remove arrows from pen, parallel, and neon strokes, and to remove dashes from pen and neon strokes. For details about removing dashes from parallel strokes, see “Customizing parallel line strokes” on page 19.353. 1 Depending on how you want to remove arrows or dashes, do one of the following: •   To remove stroke attributes from an object, select the object. •   To remove stroke attributes from the current stroke, deselect all objects. 2 Press the Strokes icon in the Toolbox to open the Strokes pal- ette. Choose the Dash or Arrow tab, depending on the attribute you want to remove.
