Could you be more specific? What kind of symbol are you trying to add,and how are you trying to add it? What do you mean when you say you "draw" the thing? MuseScore does not include drawing tools. Symbols found in the palette are mostly placed by clicking the element in the score to which you want to attach them, then double clicking the item in the palette. You can also drag and drop from the palette, but you have to drag directly to the specific element you want to attach the symbol to, and only release when it highlights. There are a small number of items in the palette that are not attached to specific elements - things in the Lines palette, mostly. When in doubt, consult the Handbook chapter for the specific type of symbol you are trying to add.

Sorry, I meant drag not draw. But you have still answered my question. I must double clic. For exemple i wanted to change the armature of a measure by draging a new one on the other and nothing appened. I simply need to clic on what i want to change and go double clic on the one i want in the palette. Thank you!

Great! But do note that as I also mentioned above, drag *does* work. You just have to be sure not to release until the element you want to attach your palette item to highlights. At least, for items that are supposed to attach to elements. For example, you can drop an accent mark just anywhere - you have to drop it onto an actual note. Just don't release until the note highlights.
