My dashed lines are not displaying properly, it seems like they're no longer centered on the line like the were previously and it's causing lines to appear as if they are not meeting in some areas and making lines that don't have the dashes aligned properly.

At the command line type PLINEGEN change the value to 0. See the link below

These are not the same for example: is the top one a PLINE in an L shape?
Is this one PLINE, and your desire is for it to be two LINEs so they are identical?
Not sure how to answer the questions above? Please share your actual DWG file here when you can.

None of the lines in question are p-lines they're all made with the regular line command. As for the second image, yeah I want two identical lines. They should look like I mirrored the line but also have the dashes centered on the line like in the photo I just attached.
Also I don't feel comfortable uploading the full CAD file, this is a work file and I don't think my firm would allow me to upload it. I'll see if the problem persists in a new blank file as well.

What linetype are you using? What is the linetype scale on the lines that don't connect?

Thanks for the DWG file @antonyavv
Change this (applies only to these four)
To this (applies to all the others)
And you will see the problem you visualize go away
BTW, this seems to be your current default override for everything you draw

The line ends at the midpoint of the linetype
Forgive me, I am not sure what you are asking.
This is your image
This is an image of line with a linetype similar to yours in my files
Other than I have no linetype exactly like yours, both appear to be normal LINE objects with a linetype assigned. How does your colleague see it? You forgot to share a screenshot from them.

Your lines finish at your endpoints. My line does not finish at the end point where I have drawn it.
I have drawn 3 green lines that have a -..-..- style line type
All lines are drawn to the blue line at the right
The top line looks like I want it to.
The second line is bit longer, it is drawn all the way to the blue line, but but the line doesnt show. The linetype makes end with blank space.
The third line is a bit longer and also drawn all the way to the blue line on the right. The linetype put in a space and a dot.

Are they Polylines or actual lines. If they're polylines. See the link below (specifically "Set the linetype display for new 2D polylines")

Can you post one of your affected drawings so we can have a look at all the settings for the lines

Unfortunately I cannot help. I don't know what setting you have which is making your lines not work. The image below is just me opening your drawing in LT2024, as you can see the lines end at your blue line
