Copy of line has different attributes

From a QCAD user:
When I copy an entity that has a linetype different from By Layer, the copy reverts to By Layer.

When moving or copying entities using Modify > Move / Copy, you have the option to either preserve the attributes and the layer of the original entity or use the current attributes and layer for the copy. This option is presented in a dialog or in the options tool bar at the top, depending on your preferences. In both cases, the option is called Use current layer and attributes.
