Very nice cyrus! I’ve been looking for a solution for this for a while. This is by far
the simplest solution (and most elegant) I’ve seen. Thank you.
I will surely use this going forward.

OMG thank you. I work in an architecture firm and this is so useful for property lines. That change of angle jitter to direction is key! brilliant. I have showed 3 people so far today as no one had been able to do it before. And it was so freakin easy!! That’s the kicker! God I loves the Interwebs!! (and Planet Photoshop!).

Here is a simpler (and really working) solution:

1) Draw a path with the pen tool
2) Select brush tool, set 3px size and 1px spaceing and an appropriate color
3) Select pen tool, right click on the path (what you created before), select “stroke path” sub menu and select brush. click ok

Now you have a continous line, following the path

4) Select eraser tool and set it to size 5px and spacing 200%
5) Select pen tool, right click on the path, select “stroke path” sub menu and now select eraser(!). click ok

tada.. you see a nice dashed line

these method is extremly useful, when you create dashed picture border

I needs some help.. I cant see where to find the angle Jitter, select control: direction..
Can anybody show me? Thanks !
Julie says: Follow the instructions above, then select “Shape Dynamics” in the Brushes tool palette. Under the pull-down menu for Jangle Jitter, select Control: “Direction” and 0%.
Now when you create a path with any brush tool, your dashed line will follow it and rotate per the path angles.

You can make the dashes follow the direction of your path in Photoshop as well. Look in the Brushes panel, under Shape Dynamics, where it says Angle Jitter. From the Control drop-down menu, select Direction
