Maintaining stroke width for dashed strokes when scaling with parent
Hi, been having this problem for weeks and not worked out a solution yet, would love to get anyones thoughts, I have an illustrator file with lots of different vector strokes that I need to maintain their stroke width but also the dashes length/distance when this is scaled up by a parented control null.
This is simple enough for a regular non-dashed line as i just convert the vector layer to shapes and apply an expression to main the stroke width, I can’t work out how to keep a dashed line consistent however and encounter all sorts of issues with everything I try
Any suggestions welcome!

How complex are your dashed paths? Are they simple shapes or complex?

Very complex, normally country borders of a map

Can I give this a bump, still not worked anything out.

Fixed. Realised it was the Gap property on dashes that was messing me up, for reference this is the expression I used:
dashValue = 10; // Replace this with your base dash length
dashValue / (thisLayer.parent.scale[0] / 100)
