Hi Martin, only distance measures can draw dashed lines in PyMOL, so try this:
unbond elem W, elem C show sticks show sphere, elem W distance transbonds, elem W, elem C hide label set dash_round_ends, off set dash_radius, 0.2 set dash_length, 0.4 set dash_gap, 0.15 ray The dashes will display as nice cylinders when ray traced and also with the new shader rendering in PyMOL 1.5 (set use_shaders).
