linetypes when plotting pdf files in AutoCAD 2014 are always continuous

[JLOWE]

When plotting with plot styles the "use object linetype" setting in the plot style table is not working when i plot a pdf file. All the lines appear as continuous. I am unable to plot hidden, phantom, ect lines. Changing global scale has no effect.

Do the linetypes come out right if you print the PDF? What PDF plotter are you using?

Do they display corectly on screen?
modelspace or paperspace plotting?
Problem is one file, or evey single file you've tried?
What are PSLTSCALE, MSLTSCALE, CELTSCALE, CANNOSCALE and LTSCALE variables set to in this file?

Hi,
Does the Preview shows linetypes correctly before you print to PDF?
Do you print from Model or from Layout?
If you print from Layout, have you "Scale to layout" option in Linetype dialog checked or in-checked?

The lines appear correct on screen. They preview and print as solid in both model and paper space regardless of LTS. This happens in all files for me in 2014.

Can you post a screenshot of the fully expanded PLOT dialog box?
And a PDF from that resulting PLOT?

I have discovered that it has something to do with hide command. The linetypes plot properly when plotted "as displayed". The lines become solid when using the hide command on screen or when being plotted with the Mview set to hide lines or in model space as hidden.
