    Default Dotted lines in Photoshop

    I want to create some dotted lines in Photoshop that follow paths. I can do this using the brush 'Spacing' for a simple dash and gap, but what about something a bit more complex - like long dash, gap, short dash, gap - that usually would be set up with Illustrator.

    Is it possible in Photoshop?
    I've tried stroking a path twice with two different shaped brushes, and that seems to be the right 'way', but I can't get it to work exactly.

    Any help much appreciated.

    That's OK for evenly spaced dashes or dots, Dave, But getting something like:

    — --- — --- — --- — --- — --- —

    is a lot more difficult to do in Photoshop. Illustrator is the way to go here.
