[Chris Buckmaster]

Thanks David although we are using live data. Stefan’s approach is a good one so I think I will continue with that, thanks for everyone’s responses

Here is another solution that would work if you are not mapping live data, and you can use a derived product.  Convert your polygon dataset to lines.  The, use Vector>Dissolve to remove duplicated lines where they are overlapping.

Hey Stefan,

Neat trick/idea with the white line.  I’ll have to write that one down.  Hmm, I wonder instead of white though, if you could convert that to transparent as well . . . .

Hi

Put a white line under the dotted line („Add symbol layer“).

Perhaps there is also a solution with the blending modes?

Betreff: [Qgis-user] Dotted line symbol in QGIS

Hi

I have a boundary layer that I want to symbolise with a dotted line. The outer boundary appears ok, but where two polygons are adjacent to each other, the dotted line becomes virtually solid (indicated below). How can I make these lines appear the same as my outer boundary lines…
