Dashed/Dotted lines in a drawing

[jackosieves]

I just want to do a quick drawing using the drawing feature in SolidWorks. No need to build parts yet. I was just wondering if it is possible to change some of the lines to dashed or dotted lines? Any info on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Enable your Line Format toolbar and/or check the "For Construction" box after you highlight a sketch segment.

You can also try layers. Set new layers, assign style and thickness. Apply as you go.

There's also the line font drop down button, that can be applied directly to your entities.
