Hello,
I’m seeing a bug where dashed lines appear to be mostly working then near the end of a line or segment they turn solid.
This does happen in fresh rhino files when I test it but does not show up when printed to pdf.
I can provide a file or machine specs if it would help.
Thanks,
Max
Hi Max - please post an example file.

Sure thing, here’s the a file which is exhibiting the same behavior as the above screenshot.

Hi Max - thanks - looks OK here -
Can you run SystemInfo in Rhino and copy/paste the results here?

Hm - nothing jumps out at me there - does the zoom level make any difference?
-Pascal
Nope looks the same regardless of zoom level on my end.
Another thing I just tested in case it helps, ExtractLineTypeSegments does extract a correct looking dashed line without the solid ends. And flipping the curve does reverse the side that it happens on.
Thanks,
Max
Hi Max - can you please try changing the setting in Options > View > OpenGL page > GPU Tessellation? I think by default that should be checked but whatever it is, try the other way…
-Pascal
It was off for me (not sure if that was default or I turned it off for some previous reason) but turning it on seems to have fixed it.
Thanks!
Hi Max -
Thanks for confirming that!
I’ve put this on the list as RH-81411 Display: Pattern segments display with GPU Tessellation off
