Dashed lines not showing in Model View

[Anonymous]

Good evening AutoCAD forum,

Can someone please give me some guidance? I'm learning AutoCAD as part of the degree I've just started, so I'm fairly new to it.

I'm doing an assignment that requires centre and hidden lines which are dashed. I'm using CENTER2 and DASHED2 in the Linetype Manager. These lines show as solid in Model View but the plot as expected (dashed). This problem is not a duplicate as I've tried the solutions from the other posts.

When I change LTScale there is no effect on model view. If I change thickness to anything except 0, I can see the lines as I expect to see them. Then if I change LTScale, the dashs change as expected. If I return thinkess back to 0, the line goes solid again.

I've tried using different scales, msltscale, psltscale, lineweights, linetypes and I've even reading the manual/help AND resetting the settings in AutoCAD back to default and started again. Any help in the right direction is much appreciated. I also can't draw lines on an angle by hitting tab...I don't know if this is associated with my problem or not.

Cheers,

Jaidan

I'm using AutoCAD 2019.

SOLVED by disabling hardware acceleration. My apologies for clogging the forum.

Good! But you just bypass the problem,

to solve the problem you need other graphic setting (with hardware acceleration ON)

 or other graphic driver

 or another graphic card (and driver)

Without hardware acceleration, you get other "problems" now or later.

CADffm thank you for that information. I'm running it in a virtual machine as my computer is Linux...that is probably why the acceleration is no good. Maybe I will have to switch back to running Windows natively on my computer.
