BUG - Line types attributes suddenly stop working

[Tom Klaber]

It is showing up in several files now. Occasionally, a line or polygon with an assigned line type will suddenly appear solid. No amount of fiddling will get it to display correctly. It seems to be an object by object thing, for lines around it do not seem to be affected.

Does it appear to change if you zoom in or out, or if you save the file, restart Vectorworks then reopen?

The line does still report a line type, correct? It hasnt reverted to an actual "Solid" for the pen?

Also, is this in Vectorworks 2013 SP1 or SP4?

Sorry - I am in 2014. I have not changed my signature.

It is not a scale issue. Zooming in does not fix it.

It still reports correctly - so it hasn't actually reverted - it just appears solid.

Closing and reopening does not fix issue.

After playing around - some line types work - it is only dashes that do not. I know this sounds like a scale issue, but it is not.

Please send me that file at tech@vectorworks.net with the subject "ATTN Jim" and I can have a look.

I wasn't able to get my tests here to do it but ive heard of this happening randomly to users before, however they couldn't get it to stay that way over the phone.

In your email, please include this as well:
