Technical Dashes Script

Hi Bear, well MoI does not currently have the concept of a "fill" to make a solid filled in shape, so it would be difficult to make something exactly like what you show there since you have filled shapes there.

It could be possible to do something for an unfilled outline though, a script for that would probably involve making several rectangles, then creating a line running down the middle of the rectangles, then using the Flow command to warp the rectangles from that base line onto the curve.

If you want to get started on creating a script like that, take a look at the rectangle commands for how they create rectangles and look at the line and flow commands for how to do the Flow part.

But the result will look different than what you show, it will be a bunch of rectangle outlines, not solid fills.

In the future I do want to add in support for line styles into MoI, it will involve a lot of work so I'm not sure exactly when it will happen.
