Hi, Can anyone give me some suggestions on how can i drag the CONSTRUCTION LINE ICON to the modelspace or on the ribbons? Another word is that i just want the command set on the screen just like Line, polyline,Arc commands where it is easy to get to, I use this command a lot. It's currently under Draw Panel. Greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Wouldn't this be best accomplished by editing the CUI?

Yes I open the CUI and tried to import, dragged the icon and drop in model space but It won't let me drop, I tried to drag and drop within the CUI interface as well but Did not work, I was able to do it in CAD 2014 but not 2016.

Make a new panel and populate it with the commands you use the most often.

I had most of the commands I need on the screen except this one, I can't move to the front of the screen where it's easy to get to.

Why not pick the command off the DRAW toolbar which can be placed anywhere on your screen?
Or...put the command on the QAT. It will always be there at the top of your screen right above the left hand corner of the Ribbon no matter what Tab is active.

Thank for your input for try to help me. I am aware that the construction line command is under the DRAW drop down but i tried to drag from there and drop on the screen, it won't let me. as i mentioned, it's not that hard to get from the DRAW DROP DOWN LIST but i used to be able to do this in different vision of CAD. If you have any Youtube or instruction let me know. I have been looking but found none. thanks

Put the command on the Quick Access Toolbar and be done with it. It will ALWAYS be available no matter what tab is active at the time.
