this script makes a line or a bunch of lines dashed, with random values for the gap and dash.

It's kind of fun to use on lots and lots of lines at once. Why not use it with the spiderweb script or wall blazer first?

After all, who doesn't love a little randomness?

A minor improvement occurred to me, so here is an updated version of this script. You can now assign a random stroke weight to selected objects.

Hi Hawken,

I probably should have explained this better:

This is a script. Make sure you have at least one object selected, and make sure it has a stroke. then select the script, and push play. You should get a dialog were you can choose the minimum and maximum dash and gap. Press OK, and every object you have selected will be made into a dashed line with different random values.

Hope this helps,

Keegan
