Please check if "Screen-based Linetypes" below Menu / View is activated.
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.

If your drawing is large (e.g. lines with several meters lengths), the line patterns will be too small to display in model space. You can either use screen based linetypes as Husky suggested or switch to print preview and set up your page size to see your line types.
