hidden lines do not appear as dashed

Hidden lines do appear as dashed lines but dash size is too small, and appear as solid line in prints. I'm unable to change hidden line type from small dashes to big dashes from properties>appearance.
Any solution please?

you need to set your linetypescaling.

you might need to change your PSLTSCALE setting in your viewport your are printing

from PSLTSCALE=0 to PSLTSCALE = 1 or vice versa.

Otherwise you cold click your line and change in the properties dialogue box change

the Linetype scale. This can be trial and error and diificult to get right first time

because the new individual element LTSCALE could be anything from 0.001 to 1000

depending on various factors.

I suggest you look at some tutorials on linetype scaling. There are hundreds around.

Here is just one
