How to create a dash line symbology with ticks in the middle of the dash?
by
I am trying to create a symbology like the one in this screenshot
I created a dash symbology for the line as solid stroke with an dash template of 9 10, and copied this layer.
To the new solid stroke layer I added the rotation effect (90º), and altered the dash template to 4 10.
Then I adjusted the 'At line ends' option to: Half pattern.
The result:
How can I get the tick placed in the center of each dash?
I was playing with the 'At line ends' option and the 'Dash template' option, to no avail.

You could use marker layers.
- create a marker layer, delete the stroke layers
- Choose this form
- rotation: 90°, Placement = Along line, check Angle to line
- play with the other parameters
- eg: Line width = 1pt, Size = 15pt, Placement template = 30
- Copy the layer. in the copy:
- rotation = 0°, change line width, size, and Perpendicular offset to match
- eg: Line width = 3pt, Size = 7pt, Perpendicular offset = 3pt
