Lou:
You can't get there from here.
MacDraw II (or Pro, for that matter) can't generate dashed objects, only dashed
lines.  You can fake it, if you're object isn't too complex, by giving the
object a "patterned" line, instead of a solid line. This won't work well if your
object has lines that go in many different directions tho.
 
Say you've drawn a square. If you assign the line one of the "diagonal stripe"
patterns, the square will seem to be constructed of dashed lines.
 
Freehand will definately do what you want.  Illustrator probably would too, tho
I use it infrequently enough to not know.  Canvas may also work.
