Does anyone know how to draw a line "DOTTED" Rounded Rectangle using PhotoShop?

I guess a dotted circle would help.

Thanks.

There's a smart tip to draw every shape with a dotted/dashed line.

1. Draw the shape - in your case the rounded corner rectangle - with a Pen Tool.
2. Use Text Tool on the path you've just drawn and type either "-" or "." to get the dashed or dotted line.
3. Tweak the letter size and spacing to achieve the look you want.

The great thing is that when you edit the path (drag control points for example), the dashed/dotted line will follow the new shape as well.
