Select the Pencil tool and a desireable brush size (I like 2px) 2. Open the Brush Palette options dialog 3. Go to "Brush Tip Shape" on the left of the palette 4. Increase "Spacing" (bottom of 'Brush Tip Shape') to the desired amount (I prefer 350%) 5. Draw your line - it's dotted. TIp 1: Once you've found a dotted line you like, save this as a brush preset so it's only 1 click away next time you need it. The saved brush will now appear in the brush palette as a brush option. Tip 2: Experiment with the "Brush Tip Shape" options - adjust "Roundness" to 0 for a dash. Play with the angle settings for other ideas. Dotted lines can also be easily created with the pencil tool:

I had never thought of using the type tool to create dotted lines. But there are other handy things you can use the pattern fill for, such as diagonal striped lines, dashed lines, or any other repeating pattern. @Will – Nice.

Tip #1 is great for dotted lines, but I learned recently that U can also use the type tool to create dotted lines. Just change the pt size and font to your liking. Great tips!
