There was a command that would make a "dashed" linetype keep its spacing even through short vertices. I have a polyline with many short verticies that I need "dashed" and it only shows "dashed" where there are long segments. If i recall correctly it was an on/off or 1/0 command.
I hope I am clear in what I am asking (it is clear in my head but that is not saying much).

Thanks,
Thad

Bring up the properties box by picking the line and right clicking. The option is at the very bottom of the box or next to last.

You might also examine the PLINEGEN variable. From the IntelliCAD on-line help:

>PLINEGEN
>Determines whether the linetype used around the vertices of a polyline are continuous or dashed. The default value (0) sets the linetype around the vertex to a dash. Setting the value to 1 changes the linetype to a continuous pattern around the vertex of the polyline.

>Type: Integer
>Saved: In the .dwg file
>Range: 0, 1
>Default: 0
