Quark has the ability to set the stroke and gap colors for a dashed line. We can simulate this effect with layered elements in InDesign, but I was wondering if someone has built perhaps a little custom Applescript app as an interface for simplifying this matter. Perhaps select a frame, use the script to set the dash and gap colors, the stroke weight and the fill color... then it builds up a layered set of frames that simulate that effect. Anyone know of such an option? It would be great for the coupons we have to develop at our shop...
