I'm using ACAD14 at several computers.
Strange thing happens on two of them. It is normal that when one select some object it becomes dashed. On these two computers they (selected objects) remains "continious".
Any idea why it happens?
Check the system variable "highlight" (type "highlight"--without quotes--at the command line. If it is set to 0, selected objects will not appear dashed. Set it to 1 to highlight selected objects.
