Wiggle line type

When I use "wiggle" line type the line appears with breaks in it, as though a dashed pen style were used. I have tried using change/more/pen styles and trying various options. Typical I use solid R or solid F but none seem to make the wiggle appear as continuous line. Also Ive tried setting different spacing settings etc.
Im not sure if the file Im working is corrupt. When I open a clean file it seems to work fine. Ive been trying to compare my settings between the clean file and the one I am working in.
Any ideas? Help!
Thanks
-Ben

Have you tried to reload the line type?
Linetype/Manage pick line type then Reload

Are you sure the linetype you're using is "Wiggle"? Where did you happen to pick it up? Maybe try the "Ruffcut" linetype (I believe it's a standard DT linetype) and see if it behaves the same?

The "Wiggle" linetype that I purchased (old Madura Studios Pro pack? Cheap Tricks? don't remember) had separate ones for a dashed wiggle, a centerline wiggle, etc.

Roger, I tried reloading from linetypes and it crashed. Im thinking something is buggy in this file.
MtnArch, I believe wiggle is part of the standard lintypes that came with DC. Im running DC 17, but have been using wiggle for years.

I purged the drawing and it seems to be working correctly for now.
Thanks for the assistance.

Ben:

Try disabling the display of user lines (U in the SWOTHLUDFBK toolbar or from the Display menu. Then try reloading your line type from the Manager.

David that seems to have worked. I disable "U" like you said, then reloaded "wiggle" . Prior to that whenever I would try to reload wiggle the file would crash. Thanks!
