line patterns

[DawnRenee]

Do dotted or dashed lines have a different meaning in flowcharts than solid
lines? Is there a standard of meaning for each line pattern?

Flowcharts normally use solid lines to show program flow, you could
use a dotted or dashed line to show some unusual circumstance like
error processing, it's up to you. There are no hard-coded standards
for such things.

Thank you for your help. I have one more flowchart question for you if you
don't mind. I know that there are standard definitions for shape meanings,
but are there standardized colors for those shapes? Thanks.

No, I very much doubt it.
