John, if you don't see why not, I don't see HOW !
I know how to have different visual styles but I don't know how to have this particuliar one with that so wanted hidden dashed lines.

OK...calm down. It ain't all that difficult. You need to set the VSOBSCUREDEDGES system variable to "1". The default is "0" To change the type of line that is being displayed as hidden look at the VSOBSCUREDLTYPE system variable. The values go from 1 to 11. This is covered in your AutoCAD Help file. Feeling better now?

John, I can see the light !!!
I haven't tested all the settings of all the commands/variables listed here above.
I'd like to have the equivalent of the FLATSHOT command i.e. all the visible lines + all the hidden/dashed lines without the "color" of the volumes.

I don't understand your reference to the "color of the volumes".
Why aren't you using a 3DHidden visual style?

You need to use other line type.

John + servicesdrafting, it doen't make doubts for me that I'm not making the good settings.
I succeded in having that image that you see with an opened port + :
The settings : Image filaire 2D ( aprox. wired 2d image ) + VSOBSCUREDEDGES : 6.
When I print I get a dark plot including hidden/dashed lines ( not a white image with only visible and hidden/dashed lines line with a FLATSHOT ).
Servicesdrafting, it looks like you could give me informations for a good plot.....
Thanks in advance.

I think I'm going to need a translation.
First change your background to white. If you need something other than an isometric view of your 3D model, like a top or side view, then use FLATSHOT. That makes the most sense.

Yeah John, I have found where to find your visual styles on my screen, and it's with a clic where the red arrow is.
It's never too late.
