Fine Custom Line Styles?

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm missing an option but custom line styles do not seem to work as I would expect. When drawing details, the finest dashed out-of-the-box lines are generally spaced too far apart. It seems that no matter the length or spacing I set, it ignores it and spaces/sizes the dashes arbitrarily while also starting and ending each segment with a long, solid line.

I've drawn these in different views and it seems to give the same result. I definitely do not want the long 3" solid line and I want these gaps/length to be accurate to what I am inputting. Here is a detailed screenshot of what I'm experiencing.

I've usually just worked around it but I'd like to get this to work...what could I be missing?

Have a look at Preferences>CAD>Line Properties>Endcap Printed Length.

Also look up Line Weights and Line Weights And Scaling.

Thank you, Glenn! This is a good read that I wish I had gone through some time ago.
