=========================================================
Selecting Dot or Dash from the Dashed Line Options dialog produces the best
results when the distance between points is small. But obviously, if the
distance between points is still too small to produce discrete breaks, you
must use the Line Width Options dialog to reduce the line width until the
continuous parts becomes dots or dashes. This always seems to work in FM
V5.1.1. If it doesn't work in FM V5.5.x, then you've exposed another bug in
V5.5.x.
