The Input line for the first example in the Help message for "Dotted" in
Mathematica 7 is
Graphics[{Dotted, Line[{{0, 0}, {2, 1}}]}]
I copied the Output graphic produced by that input in the Help message
using the Mathematica "Copy as PDF" menu command; pasted it into an
Illustrator document that was open in Illustrator; and magnified the
view of that document.
The "dots" are clearly not dots but dashes or rectangles that are
something like 4 or 5 times longer than they are wide.
