Hi amazing Illustrator community! I am making dotted lines for a chart in Illustrator (24.3 / Mac OS 10.13.6) and both the preview and the resulting PNG have very fine lines through the center of my dotted line. Any idea of how to fix this? Please see images below, screenshot & PNG.

Ah ha! I had the fill set to a color and not nothing!  You have solved my problem. Will post the screen shots here for posterity. THANKS!

Noyster,

 

Curiously, some of them only have the dots.

 

Can you also show the Appearance palette with one of the offending lines selected?

 

Probably far too far out, but what happens if you Ctrl/Cmd+E?

You are welcome, Noyster.

 

The Appearance palette is often your friend.
