Check your ltscale setting. It may be set so low that the line style is appearing as a solid line when it really isn't.

Just found this on the Autodesk discussion boards:

By: Tim Decker
If your centerline layer is current, make sure you are set to draw your linetypes as "bylayer". To do this, make sure your CELTYPE is set to
BYLAYER.

There are 2 main "bylayer" properties for entities on screen:

CECOLOR - Current Entity COLOR
CELTYPE - Current Entity LineTYPE

These are also shown on the "Properties" toolbar, as pop-down lists.
Good luck!
