When making dashed and dotted lines in Inkscape, you would typically use the Dashes setting in the Fill & Stroke menu. The problem with this approach is that it produces dashes that are often asymmetrical relative to the object they're being applied to. Using the Dashes path effect instead is a better option because it provides more granular control over the dashes, allowing you to produce a more refined dashed or dotted line.
