    click on the color of stroke and fill on the bottom left.
    the "fill and stroke" dialog appears, where you select stroke style and then change the dashes selection

    Thanks, I’ve been searching for a couple of days for this, still couldn’t get it to work, I hadn’t done the opacity button. Thank you once again

    Welcome to all 3 of you!

    oldpete  if that does not solve your problem, please share your SVG file with us.  There are a few reasons a line could appear to be dotted or dashed, and we need to see the file, if we want to avoid a guessing game.
