Change "View Annotation" line type in styles

Hello all,

 

 

I'm working on a drawing template for my company, and I'm just about finished it except for one last issue -- I can't figure out how to change the linetype of the "view annotation" in styles. For whatever reason the section lines are scaled way down, and I can't find a place to change the lines to PhantomX2. Linetypes that I change in the layers all show up properly -- attaching a picture where you can see a hidden line displaying normally, and the very tiny section line next to it.

 

Any advice is much appreciated!

Usually the section view annotation indicator line type is defined in the "Layers" section of the style/standard library under the "Section Line" Layer name..

You can change the linetype there..

Interestingly enough, I can change that linetype to solid, but the linetype will still remain the same tiny double-dash.

I searched the forums and google, and somehow that post never came up. Thanks kindly for pointing me in that direction, and also, that totally blows. It still hasn't been fixed in 2020? We're upgrading to that soon from 2016.
