hello
i've imported cad file into revit with some dashlines.
Some plan display this line correctly and one plan display it as a continues line.

if i apply a view template from the plans that the line is presented well on them, it fixes the problem.
so - whats exacly do i need to change on visibility/graphics window?http://forums.augi.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=103656&stc=1

When you say 'imported' do you mean 'linked'? (I hope so)

You can into Visibilty/Graphics under the 'imported categories' tab and select a line style override for any given layer, but it based on layers, so I don't know how Revit handles a line whose line styles is not 'by layer' in the DWG.

Have a read of Autodesk Revit Importing or Linking CAD Files (http://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2016/ENU/?guid=GUID-E8705303-0610-4A82-9118-0C3A742706D2) and Steve Stafford's blog post Importing DWG and Exporting to DWG (http://revitoped.blogspot.dk/2011/04/importing-dwg-and-exporting-to-dwg.html)

The biggest danger is that someone will explode it. So do what you can to avoid that.

Did you look into what I posted above about settings in the Visibility/Graphics tab?
