Wanted: dashed line for FM table ruling

Framers,

 

Is there any way to get an actual broken line rule pattern in FrameMaker
tables?

 

My human factors guys insist that I do a certain table with dashed rulings.
I know about the Edit button in Custom Ruling and Shading and that it allows
editing of the width and "tone" of the rulings by choosing Edit Ruling
Style. The Pen Patterns percentages of 3, 10, 30, etc. %, are not what is
wanted, since these percentages just affect how gray the line is and not how
"dashed" it is. I know that FrameMaker's screen representations of the tones
look like broken lines, but they aren't. ["All is illusion"]. In the PDF the
percentage just results in a lighter tone of gray.

 

Does anyone know if broken line rules are even possible?

 

Thanks.

 

Craig
