usability - How to *Add To Panel* in 16.04?

In older distros, there is the feature: right-click the top-bar > Add To Panel. But not anymore in Ubuntu 16.04?

I want to create a application icon-shortcut to the application bar.
I want to use the default settings in the latest Ubuntu.
I would like to add just a Matlab.desktop icon to the panel.

1) Open the application you want to create the shortcut for.

2) Right-click the icon that shows up on the launcher

3) Select "Lock to launcher"
