How to dashed line? [Archive]

I've got the lines I need to be dashed on their own layer, the linetype is set to dashed line ACAD_ISO03W100. The layer is set to visible. For some reason they won't show up. Am I skipping a step?

What is your linetype scale set to? Also known as LTSCALE.

Msltscale=1 (will display per Cannoscale in the Model tab)
Psltscale=1 (not global; needs to be set in each Layout tab)
Ltscale=1 (or your preference)

See Help for further explanation of these variables

Also try to change the scale of the line itself through the properties pane. Depending on your drawing units and other things (zoom, length of line, etc), you may not be able to see the dashes. Make extra sure the line in question is actually set to that linetype, be it set to 'bylayer' and the layer set to that dashed linetype or the line itself set to the dashed linetype.
