for the first one, if you have imageready you can use the image mapping tool to trace over the box and it will give you the height and width. if you don't, you can use paint. take the pencil tool and hover over one corner, and the coordinates will show up somewhere near the bottom of the screen. i think. hover over all four coordinates, and subtract the x and y values to get the width and height. [you'll have to do a little math...refresh your subtraction skills!]

personally, I have done dotted boxes with photoshop...

but not with the shape tool ;D

What I did was make --------
marks with the text tool and rotate/move them to my heart's content.


....works efficiently, I guess.

hrm. i agree with the paint thing. i heard it works; but i never worked it out. i just go spend the 5 hours guessing. hehe

Coding just a simple div layer will only take you like ten minutes, it's only one, it's not like you have a million div layers..
And you can create the dotted box by using the selection tool, and make a regular box, then hit "CTRL + T" and turn it. If you want just a regular box not a selection, print screen it and you'll have a box.
