BUG Dashed lines appear different in PDF with same properties

How come the same properties yield different look for two lines. SR5 and Rhino PDf driver.

Hi Ivan -
How was that top curve created?

Generally, things work best / as expected when a curve’s domain is somewhat the same as its length. That’s not the case with that top curve.
If you run Reparameterize with the Automatic option, this curve will print as expected.

i dont remember but either it was created by offset or dupborder from hatch

OK i agree this is the root cause but it should not affect pdf look. Maybe behind the scenes all curves should be reparametrized so they look ok in PDF. Still it is strange that such things has influence over it.
