Add command DELCONSTRAINT to the ribbon and tool palette

Hi,

I can add AutoCAD commands to the ribbon and/or a tool palette. But some commands seam to be missing when you search for them. I am trying to add "DelConstraint" but when I start searching for it, there aren't any commands shown in the list - see pic below. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Note the command is currently in my ribbon but I want to add it to a tool palette

There is no "Command" in commandlist with name Delc*

Try Del*

@cadffm

I am aware "Delc" isn't a command but as you start to type the commands in the list are automatically filter down - see example pic below when I search for "adj" and you will see the 6 results

A wildcard doesn't seam to work when searching and unless I am mistaken it isn't required. I suspect "DELCONSTRAINT" has an alternative name. The command "Burst" command is found by searching for "Explode attributes to text"

Found it...

You need to use the full name instead of the abbreviated name...

If not there then:

Create a New Command in your CUI, then write a Macro and add to a Toolbar / Tool Palettes - see Link.

CAD Command and Control: Macros and Tool Palettes

"click and drag your command from the command list to your new palette. This will allow you to run your command from the tool palette. "

That's almost always the case in the CUI pop-up.

If you KNOW where it is in Ribbon, then follow the path and locate the command. When you do, click on the command's icon...

BTW keyword "constr"... will find it.
