Does anyone have problems with dashed line types appearing solid? It seems when I close a drawing or the CAD program the dashed line-types will appear solid upon reopening. It doesn't matter what version of CMS or what drawing I am working in. It is also not a very repeatable problem which makes troubleshooting difficult.

I am currently running 14.0 PE+

Perhaps someone would be willing to open this file on their PC and see if they get the same results that I do. The lines in the screen shot are set to a scale of 0.08 and are displayed as continuous lines.

.... or what drawing I am working in

I should correct this. If I open a new drawing and create some dashed lines, it works as expected. So it must be something about the way these schematic drawings are set up. Perhaps conflicting properties somewhere? I am not sure yet.

Hi BahlerBoy,
Please set the CANNOSCALE (System Variable) to 1:1, then the line display as dashed type.

Thankyou Quan, that worked for me. I discovered that the the cannoscale in the template I use for those drawings is set to 1/8"=1'-0". Set it to 1:1 and problem is solved.
