dotted lines
Sign here indicators
Dotted lines are lines made of dots or dashes rather than continuous strokes.
On forms and contracts, a dotted line marks where to sign: Sign on the dotted line.
That phrase extends to any formal agreement or commitment.
Dotted lines on maps indicate boundaries, proposed routes, or features that aren't permanent.
In organizational charts, a dotted line shows an informal reporting relationship—less direct than a solid line.
