Viewport LineScale

I have drawn most of my project in AutoCAD 2009 but due to circumstances am finishing the project in DraftSight (free). My drawings are done in one file ('model space') and the sheets and viewports are set up in another file which references the 'model space' file. The viewports show all lines that, in the model, are not continuous (Hidden, Center, Dashed etc.) as continuous lines. I have searched through all the documentation but can't seem to find a solution to the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
