You can also use the Flow technique to make a customized dash shape by making whatever you want for the base straight pattern.

This is kind of like a chain script, with dashes instead of links.

Hello,
After digging on Illustrator forums found that is possible to do it in Illustrator (CC at least).
Draw a dashed line > Select line > Object > Flatten Trnasparency > UnGroup > Coumpound Path > Release
This work for me, hope its usefull to someone.

Hi Carlos,

Not so long ago I wrote a script which can help you.
PatternSelection.
This script not always works good, but in your particular case it can be very helpful.
Usage: Select objects. Run script. Define a selection pattern (by using "+" "-" or "1" "0" symbols)

This video shows how it works.

Hi Max,
That is exactly what i was looking for, its great. Thanks a lot.
Now i dont need to leave Moi to finish this task. Well done, Max.
Carlos

Funny script! :)

Hi Pilou,

Yes, you can use any symbol to deselect an object, not only "0" or "-" :)
Test the new version.

Funny I just post the French tutorial version ! (not the translation because there an only one word Pattern! :)

Seems your last works fine!
