Cad lines keep connecting, How to stop that

I'm not sure which tool the "side bar icon" is but you can turn off "Connect Cad Segments" either through the toolbars, menus, or hotkeys to prevent cad lines from connecting together to form polylines.  Once you turn it back on though, if you edit any of the lines, they will usually join together again unless they have different attributes (like layer or color). 

 

If this is not working for you then you need to give us more information about what exactly you are doing using which tools.  If all else fails, you can always contact tech support during our normal business hours.

I think turning "Object Snaps" off would be what I would do if I do not want line entities to "snap" together, try that. I usually leave Object Snaps ON but only turn it off when I wish objects and lines not to snap together.

Those are completely different commands.  I always want to have object snap turned on, and separate from that sometimes to connect and sometime not.  Dermot has a good solution.

For construction lines, never.  When making polylines, yes.
