How about a screenshot of the areas with the missing layout lines?

here is one part. the parts that are not connecting are red i think and i know that means open edges on the model. also most of the tabs that bend up the dotted lines dont show, the file is one Roadwarrior sent me its the file reach_belt 17w

I know what's going on here. In some files, instead of lowering the threshold angle, a few unfolders (myself included) choose to hide the fold lines as a means of "smoothening" the model. When someone decides to re-do an unfold, these hidden lines reveal themselves as you have seen.

To remedy this, right-button click the development side and select "Edge Color." Select "Hidden Line". Then under Select Color/Hide, click on the first box (color box) and a color palette will show up. Choose black. Then click on the Paint button and move the cursor to the location of a missing line and then left-button click. The line should appear by now.

EDIT: this is procedure for PD3. It's a lot simpler for PD2.
