Hi,
There is nothing like a freehand Linetype.
Linetypes are patterns like dotted and/or dashed applied to line art if not set continuous.

One can draw a ‘freehand line’ with: menu Draw .. Line .. Freehand Line (LF)
That is in fact a chain of short straight Line segments with corners placed at intervals for movements with the mouse cursor when holding down the left button.
Each Line segment is an individual entity to start with and can be set in a certain Linetype, color, weight, on a layer and so on.

One could merge a chain of segments to a Polyline (OG)
Or create (a) Polyline(s) from (a) selected chain(s) (OC)

Another and neater solution can be a Fit-point Spline (SL).
It is also possible to convert a freehand or Polyline to a Spline.

Regards,
CVH
