    Routing cannot be a broken dotted line. But the lines can be dotted.

     When you are in the Add line command use the ‘Line Font' in the options tab to change to dotted.

    There are subclass where dotted lines are not allowed in that case you will see the error message in the status window as below

     E- (SPMHGE-272): Line fonts other than SOLID are not allowed on this class/subclass.

     Thanks,

    Nagaraj.

    Hello Nagaraj,

    Thanks for your reply, I have tried added dotted lines in silk_bottom subclass for PTH symbol,  but as your said, it was not allowed, so I am finding a skill code to implement this function,
