Remember to also set up your drawing for millimetres or inches in the current drawing preferences. You can always save this file and name it 'my template' or whatever, so it can be opened next time you come to draw. However it is possible to create your own construction lines easily by creating a new layer, naming it 'construction lines' (I tend to use dot/ dash lines in yellow), then by using the line tool, set a length of say 10,000mm in whatever direction you choose (from the origin at 0,0- red cross) and lay down some construction lines from that. Yes, there are no provision for infinite construction lines, as you rightly point out. QCad is more like AutoCAD, and behaves in a very similar manner, however is far, far easier to use than ACAD, once you have mastered the tool palette. I get the impression that construction geometry within QCad is "draw a line a little longer then trim" concept.
