Seems ok here Dave but I did have to change the dot dash gaps.

using same settings as you now Paul. Still no dash :(

It works when I use brush and select then tap dash. But Pencil remains solid line. In old version I can draw dash line with pencil.

EDIT I cleared all objects off artboard, selected pencil again and now it’s drawing dashed lines!!. I'm really confused. Was it me or the beta? :$

No problem here (with either the same settings or different ones).

What else could be different? is this an Artboard (2) issue?

I see the same effect (no dash) if the line pressure is not reset.

Is this specific to working with a Pencil perhaps? (sorry not in front of iPad)

I get the same effect in 1,6. Nudge the line pressure graph slightly off zero one end and I can no longer dash the line. Reset pressure graph and line dashes. Maybe intended behaviour?

Same with brush as pencil tool.

Ah, that old issue! It’s the same in the desktop apps.

The puzzlement expressed in this thread is testament to the fact that the apps should display a warning, or automatically reset the pressure profile, or both.

Yeah, I was thinking about that very thing. If it is not meant to work that way, why not have the dash icon reset the pressure graph. Too easy!
