Can I change the lenght of dashed lines?

Hi guys,
is there a way to change the length of the dashed lines? They are way too long for a draing I am doing.

Any help is as usual appreciated. Thanks

Options > Element Attributes > Line Types

Find your dashed line, and then move the flags in the preview to widen or reduce the gap (or enter new values).
Also note the scale you are using as this will affect the appearance of your dashes.

Though I would make a Duplicate of the Line before editing it.

Paopao:

The Dash and Gap of lines can be edited by going to Line Types... dialog box, selecting the line type, and changing these values. You may want to create a new line type (select one of the existing line types and click the "New..." button) so that your existing line types stay as they are. Also, note whether the line type you are editing is Scale with Plan or Scale Independent so you can control the result depending on the scale of the drawing.
