Title: Zig-zag Line
Post by: aeenderson on April 02, 2012, 08:10:26 PM
I need to create a zig-zag line style that will be used as a text box border... the end result will look like pinking shears clipping out a piece of paper. (Anyone remember what pinking shears are?!? LOL)

I've tried a couple of things but the corners get all wonky and don't stay in proportion with the other zigs and zags. I've attached what I've come up with so far. To get this, I just dragged several drawing guides onto the page and then used the line tool to draw lines that were the same length so the peaks and valleys all hit at the same spot, but the corners got messy.

As you can see from browsing my other posts, I am definitely NOT a Visio expert, so please be gentle and explain the solution in very small words... ;-P

Though there left some problems, we have another way.
Custom line pattern.
