How can I work with dashed lines in Animate and show them properly? 

 

I got my drawings from Illustrator, and dashed lines don't show up properly in Animate.  

 

What would be the best way to work around this problem and be able to show dashed lines in Animate?

I think....

 

I will transfer the Illustrator file without the dashed lines... then I will finish drawing the dashed lines in Animate.  Since dashed lines are not too many, then is not a big deal to draw them on top of my drawing....  but if I was going to use so many then it would be complicated....  I am also NOT animating the dashed line.  My animations movements are very, very little stuff in the drawing.

Hi, convert the dashed lines to Outlines in Illustrator.

Select the path then go to Object > Expand, then in the pop-up window tick Fill and Stroke.

Save the file and open it again in Animate (or copy-paste it directly).
