How to Make Dash Lines in Microsoft Whiteboard

How to Make Dash Lines in Microsoft Whiteboard

Dash lines are notoriously hard to draw as they require perfect spacing and orientation. This issue can be easily rectified in Microsoft Whiteboard by using both the Ruler and Pen tools offered by the program.

• Step 1 – Launch any Version of Microsoft Whiteboard

  The user can use this method on any variation or version of Microsoft Whiteboard. Start by launching Microsoft Whiteboard on the user’s desktop.

• Step 2 – Select or Create a Whiteboard to Draw a Dashed Line on

  After the user has opened Microsoft Whiteboard on their desktop, they will need to sign in to the Microsoft Office account they want to work in. The user will then be greeted by the landing page of Microsoft Whiteboard where they will have to either select an existing whiteboard via left-click or create a new keyboard by clicking the “Add whiteboard” button on the list.

• Step 3 – Choose and Format a Pen Tool

  Before the user can make a dashed line on the body of the whiteboard, they must first select and format the pen tool that will be used in making the line. To choose a pen tool, the user will just need to left-click the preferred pen tool in the toolbar. But if the user doesn’t like or prefer any of the available pen tools, they may reformat any pen by double-clicking the “Pen” button on the toolbar and choosing any color or line thickness the user wants their pen to be.

• Step 4 – Toggle the Ruler Tool

  The user will then need to ensure their lines are both properly spaced and straight. The user can achieve this by using the Ruler tool available on the toolbar, which can be toggled on by left-clicking the “Ruler” button on the toolbar.

• Step 5 – Draw the Dashed Line on the Whiteboard

  The user can now use both the pen and the ruler tool in conjunction to make perfectly straight and spaced dash lines on the body of the whiteboard.
