This means a lot of work for me! I cannot use any ot the two methods because I have many overlapping items.
We need to be able to assign whatever linetype we want either in 2D or 3D! I will make a poll for it!

if you unlink, you can.

For 3D, place on Wireframe layer. Works better than hidden/dashes lines.

Man ... I had to bang my head on the wall five times for even writing that word.

Unlink should be removed!!!! Overrides! Override manager!

Do I hear the jingling of the bells of a Hungarian sled landing in the desert, or am really cuckoo? (No, don't answer that )
