Imported Data from QGIS in DXF. File Won't Change Linetype

I imported some data from QGIS into AutoCAD via DXF. File. I want to change the line type from continuous to hidden but it won't physically change its form. I have tried changing the LTS and paper scale but still nothing. My other lines that weren't imported are fine showing the change in line type. What is wrong here?

When you select this line what does it tell you the linetype is in the properties palette? If it says the linetype is hidden then it is probably a scale issue. Can you post a copy of the file?

For sure, I attached my file in question with my reply. The lines I am trying to change to hidden are the light pink contour lines, I imported them from QGIS. As you can see though from the red hidden line, other lines are able to appear hidden, just not the pink ones that I want.

 Your contour lines are 3D polylines they need to be 2D polylines and the linetype scale needs to be tiny see the images below. The first image is your polyline. The second image is the polyline I created by exploding your 3D polyline and then joining it back together. The drawing is attached as well
