Dashed Lines That Wrap rather than Gap at Corners!

Andy Thomson
Advisor
Again, autocad does this, we need to have this too! It makes for better 2D printed graphic qualities, a box drawn with a dashed line with gaps on corners looks nowhere near as good as when the dashes wrap - and this must apply to all 347 conditions in the model, not just once, which is why shifting the linetype isn't a satisfactory workaround....!

By the way this new by segment or by polyline setting also fixes one of the old topo bugaboos of trying to do a dashed line when they have nodes every few inches. Now you just set it to by polyline and the whole topographic line becomes a clean dashed line.
