You can add and rearrange the commands and controls on a row that you use
often, and you can remove those from a row that you use infrequently. Rows
are used to hold and organize commands and controls on a ribbon panel.
Along with using rows to organize commands, you can also create drop-downs
that contain multiple commands and only take up the space of a single
command. For more information about drop-downs on ribbon panels, see
Add Drop-downs to a Ribbon Panel on page 219.
In addition to using rows and sub-panels to organize commands, you can also
use menu separators. Menu separators are used to add space or lines between
commands and controls.
The following table describes the properties for the Line command of Row 1
on the Home 2D - Draw ribbon panel as they appear in the Properties pane.

16x16 for small icons or 32x32 for large icons,
set RIBBONICONRESIZE to 0. AutoCAD does
not resize ribbon icons to a standard size when
