Error cutting a dot-dash and dash lines with Shapebuilder
I have a couple of line formats in SVG: one is a simple dot-dash line (technically, a dash line with individual dots placed between the dashes), the other is a dash line but every 10 dashes is a symbol (font glyph). I’d like to cut out a portion of these line patterns that fit within a rectangle. In the case of the dot-dash line, I can cut out any portion of it but with the dash+symbol line, the symbol appears on the 2nd dash so I can’t just take the first dash, I need to capture a portion of the first dash, then all of the 2nd dash which will include the symbol. See first screenshot.
I’ve successfully clipped the dash lines with Shapebuilder but the pattern of the dashes shifts and no longer line up with the dots in one line and symbol in the other line. See second screenshot.
How can I create an accurate representation of a line style?

Hey Julian,
Reading your post, it seems like you are looking for help with Adobe Illustrator?
Sorry, this forum is mainly around Artificial Intelligence, as in A.I..
