Have you looked at the "stoke" settings panel?  Does it show stroke as a white box w. a red line thru it? If so, stoke is set to "none". If yurned on, and set to dotted, the stroke for any shape or line can be any thickness, and have different dot sizes and spacings. There is a tutorial for this.

Hi Guys 

 

You didn't get my point see I don't know how to draw a straight line first ? I make rectangle and then make its hight to 1px, doing so then using the stroke settings won't help you'll get a line like in the screen shot ?

To draw straight lines, you can use the Pen tool set to either Polygon or Line Mode. (The mode settings are on the Context toolbar.)

 

For more about that, you can always refer to the built-in help by opening Affinity Help & searching for "pen tool." The Pen Tool help topic can also be found in the Help window's table of contents in the Workspace > Tools > Design Tools section.

 

While you are at it, check out the Stroke Panel help topic, which explains how to use the dash line style options. Search for it or find it in the Workspace > Panels section.

To draw straight lines, you can use the Pen tool set to either Polygon or Line Mode. (The mode settings are on the Context toolbar.)

 

In Line Mode, you can get a perfectly horizontal line (or a perfectly vertical one, or a line sloping at exactly 45 degrees) by holding down the Shift key on your keyboard as you draw.
