Solid LInes have dashes

[Anonymous]

I am not an AutoCAD experts by anymeans but have been working with AutoCAD here and there for many years.  I recently downloaded the latest version of AutoCAD for my SurfacePro and I seemed to have ran into a problem when I open any drawing.  I am hoping someone can help.  

When I open a drawing or start a drawing from scratch, all Solid lines have dashes.  I've tried chaning LTscales, MSLTScale, PSLTScale and no matter what I do all the solid lines appear to have dashes on the drawing.  The pecular part about this is that when I print the drawing, the print intself does not contain dashes.  The other boggoling feature is that if I change the linetype to a zigzag a dotted line or any other type of line, they all appear normal.  Only the Solid lines seem not to be solid.  Also only when I select an object does the object appear to be solid, other than that every line appear to have dashes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Can you post a screenshot?

Type in the command GRAPHICSCONFIG and try turning off hardware acceleration.

Awesome!  That was it!  The Graphics Performance was out of whack.. I turned off the Hardware acceleration and the lines all became solid again.  I went one step further and turned on the Accelerator and turned one feature on at a time and it was the High quality geometry feature that was making my lines dashes.
