How to show hidden lines using a hidden linetype?

G'day,

 

As in the subject, I need to show hidden lines using a hidden linetype.

 

I have a 3D model of a pipe spool that I need to get fabricated and need to prepare a workshop drawing.

 

In the past, (well with AutoCAD 2006) it was easy. Enter HLSETTINGS and simply enter the colour I wanted for them and the linetype to display (if I wanted them to display). With AutoCAD 2016, I now get the Visual Styles palette, and a whole lot of visual styles with little in the way of a clue as to which one to use for what I want.

 

So, which one do I change (or create a new one)?

 

I tried creating a new visual style, but could not find anywhere to save the style, but even there, it showed a shaded model. I do not want a shaded model. This is the old style workshop drawing that is needed. I do not want to have to draw things up again for the workshop drawing as this is only going to introduce something where errors creep in.

 

With 2006, I created around 100 such pipe spool drawings on a contract with hidden lines automatically showing as a hidden linetype, so I know it can be done.

 

Any pointers?

 

Thanks.
