Re: Linetypes.
Entity attributes (color, line type, line weight) are usually controlled by the layer you draw upon.
You can also set these attributes per entity if you prefer:
View > Property Editor
Select one or multiple entities and change the color, line type, etc. as desired:

Thanks for replying.
OK, what if I want to use different linetypes on a layer.
EG: hidden lines, center line.

Re: Linetypes.
Well... I can in LibreCAD.

Yes, of course, also in QCAD (for example using the property editor). But it's highly unusual and certainly not the recommended way of working with a CAD.
