Good Morning - I am modeling some packaging concepts which contain Perf Scores which are basically dashed lines that are then cut extruded.
Rather than do the line work manually I was wondering if there was a way to get a dotted / dashed line as a sketch which I could then use to create the perfs.
Some of my lines are curved so this would be a huge time saver.
Thank you.

Hi Lenny is this what you're after?
Linear Sketch Pattern?
Circular Sketch Pattern
2016 attached
I'll see what I can come up with for curves
hmmm...
there's this rather bizarre method
seems a faff, but it is parametric
so you could always copy the result sketch and then move on
It works by using sketch tools intersection curve, on a face offset from a sheet metal loft that was unfolded and cut with a linear pattern
edit: maybe it could be a library feature, now that would be cool
Can you upload a sample pic of the kind of curves / pattern you're using.. edit may be able to go straight for the jugular!
edit2: this kind of thing
tip. edit sketch on top plane, pre select all faces with filter before starting intersect curve command
OK Last One
There's always this old chestnut
Not that I am aware of. It will be interesting what others have to say...
