Line
Helical Curve
Arc
Spline
Equation Curve
Point Bend

I tried right clicking on the ribbon and customising the user command. I added Rectanle (Two Point) to Part | 3D Sketch, but I didn't see anything change in the Ribbon. Any suggestions?
You need to create a "2D Sketch". You can't draw rectangles in a 3D Sketch because they're 2-Dimensional shapes. I always have my Inventor set up to create a 2D Sketch whenever I create a new part.
