Making Dashed curves

Is there a quick way to dashed curves, similar to hidden lines but customize the length of the dashes. I cants use hidden lines because my cutting table doesn’t read them which I assume is because its just a linetype change and not actually turning the curve its self into a dashed line.

For Rhino V5-V7, you can set a linetype on the curve as you want and then “Explode” into separate segments it with the script below.

ExplodeLinetypeV14.py (9.7 KB)

In the current Rhino 8 WIP this function has been made ‘native’ again, the command is called ExtractLinetypeSegments
