Are stroke dashes editable?

Asked by Pablo Trabajos

Hi,
I want to make a dashes pattern that is not in the drop-down menu, how do I do this? There are several patterns but I want another different one.

I think the only way to do this is with the XML editor. Select the path, open the XML editor (Ctrl+Shift+X), click on the style attribute and look for the "stroke-dasharray" property. This property is just an alternating list of dash lengths and gap lengths. Change it as required, and then click Set. There's also a "stroke-dashoffset" property if you need to shift the dash pattern.
