A minor improvement occurred to me, so here is an updated version of this script. You can now assign a random stroke weight to selected objects.

where do I put it?

is it a tool?

is it a script?

Hi Hawken,

I probably should have explained this better:

This is a script. Make sure you have at least one object selected, and make sure it has a stroke. then select the script, and push play. You should get a dialog were you can choose the minimum and maximum dash and gap. Press OK, and every object you have selected will be made into a dashed line with different random values.

Hope this helps,

Keegan

i keep getting this in the console:
illegally formed XML syntax (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS3\Plug-ins\Scriptographer\scripts\scripts\crazy-dash_v2.js#122)

Hi,
i have an problem with this script.
I create an elipse an than I start the script, set the options an than I got an empty elipse.
I cann´t see any dashes.
I use this with CS4.

Regards and hope for help.

Hi,
after an restart of Illustrator CS4 now it works!

THX and best regards.

I like it. Simple, but can be nice to create furry/grainy textures.

I have problem with both v3 and orignal version.

v3 makes only simple dashes (gap+dash), while original version makes complex dashes but all paths have the same pattern. did anyone experience same bug, or found workaround?

nice script though
thanx

Hi izumitelj,

for complex dashes place the declaration of dasharray BEFORE the for loop.
