Adjusting Hidden Line parameters in a Drawing

Is there any way to change dash length and spacing in hidden lines on a drawing?
I would like to be able to control those parameters as well as line width.
If those capabilities exist , I can't find them.

Even DesignCAD can do this, not that I have any desire to use DesignCAD for creating my 3D parts and assemblies.

You could create a custom line pattern, and assign that to the hidden lines - if done in drawing template it will apply to all subsequent drawings, if done as a local override it will apply to the individual drawing.

Look at file alibre_unicode_sample.lin in the Alibre Templates directory (accessed via link on Utilities Tab of Home Window).

The 'Scale' parameter for the layer should allow an overall adjustment (but not affecting line/space ratio) - but currently that only displays correctly in Legacy display mode.
