linetypes should show as hidden but look continuous in DWG, perfect in PDF.

#1. Thes lines should show up hidden but look solid, as you can see other lines in show okay, but just visually not showing correctly or in plot preview as per below:

#3 but as you can see, once the plot is made and opened in bluebeam, the lines are now displayed correctly hidden

Your definition of "hidden" is referring to the close dashed linetypes, correct?
"solid" means CONTINUOUS, yes?

CANNOSCALE, CELTSCALE, LTSCALE, MSLTSCALE and PSLTSCALE variables in that file are set to...?

[javier.zavala]

yes sir continuous...sorry, the last three ive done also at times the lines will just disappear all together and not display visually or the "break pattern" will be just random, it will break into dots and continuous random sections.....again its more of a display issue in paper space and in plot preview, but once the plot is made it displays correctly in the pdf

and what makes it even weirder is that if i close cad and reopen the drawing again, it displays just fine, but then once i close again and reopen the drawing once more, it has the issue again.....i am now noticing it is fixed and "un-fixed" if i open and close cad ...everytime

Try the VIEWRES command.  Answer Yes to the question, and give it a high "circle zoom percent" number [despite the wording, it also affects noncontinuous linetype display] -- may as well go all the way to the maximum 20000.  It's a setting that affects only screen display, which would explain why things plot appropriately even though they don't look right on-screen.

Share a screenshot of your GRAPHICSCONFIG and ABOUT command pop-ups here too please.

viewres...said yes and set to 20000 and did regen, nothing happened,...

If VIEWRES fixes the display, that quote suggests to me that you have some customization that is messing with it.  Do you have an acaddoc.lsp file or APPLOAD Startup Suite entry that could be changing it?

cannonscale set to 1:1
celtscale set to 2.5
ltscale to 24
msltscale to 1
psltscale to1
tried differnt numbers on all no "dice (luck)".....

again its a visual issue not so much an issue with the actual linetypes per se i would think...notice agian ionly the lassoed lines are the once not "breaking" at all, when they should as per last image in pdf imagine 3

Turn off LINESMOOTHING and LINEFADING variables then REGENALL.

If that did not help... Set GFXDX12 variable to 0 (that's a zero) then restart AutoCAD.

you know, one of those last ones (linesmooting, linefading) might have worked, i close and reopened cad and it displays correctly, but loike i said that if i reopen it again it usually goes back to "not displaying correctly" so i closed and opened thrice more and it is still displaying correctly as of now...please see below

dont know if it did it but i might have....

i guess ill keep checking and if it reverts back we will know....???

im inclined to say that it might have worked... i closed and r3e opened and again and opened other projects that with the same problem and theyre good now...hopefully it sticks..!

yeah man..! i think thats it yo! still looking good!

done opened and closed like ten times now and and all good...

cuz i did Turn off LINESMOOTHING and LINEFADING variables then REGENALL. and i remebr it didnt do nothing so i was sceptical about the gfxdx12....but once i closed and and kept reopening to test the theory....it now displays correctly everytime i do..

GFXDX12 WORKED
