There is an old report in Debian BTS about qcad community having issues with dash dot lines.
The bug was reported for 1.4.14 and is confirmed on 2.0.5.0-1:

• Select a non-continous line pattern in the toolbar dropdown dialog (i.e. "Dash Dot (large)")
• Draw/Line/2 Points and draw one or more line segments
• File/Print/Print to file (prints to "print.ps"),

All lines are solid in the created file "print.ps". The line pattern has disappeared.
Details on Bug#167869. Patches from community are welcome

Thanks

The line pattern is there, but it is very small scaled. Longer lines seem to be 0.24mm long and short ones, umm, very small

The rendering method used for display makes the scale look bigger but zoom in to see what happens.

I'm sure scaling can be corrected somehow.

EDIT: Scale depends on line width selected. Try 0.13mm for example. IMO case closed.

Thanks janif, I will link to your reply and will close this one in our BTS
