Hello,

Thanks in advance for your work in LibreCAD. Is it possible to add a QCheckBox widget to select dock widgets more quickly?, something similar to what appears in the figure.



Best regards.

This feature should be easy to add.

Title: Improve Interface for Managing Toolbars and Widgets – Unified and Multi-Select Control Panel

Description:

Hello again,

I would like to reiterate and expand on a previous request regarding the user interface.

Currently, managing CAD Widgets, CAD Toolbars, Widgets, and Toolbars is done separately through various menu entries. This process can be time-consuming and unintuitive, especially when enabling or disabling multiple elements.

Suggested Improvements:

Create a unified interface (panel or dialog) that displays all available toolbars and dock widgets in one place.

Use a list with QCheckBox options to allow multi-selection of items.

Allow users to enable or disable multiple widgets or toolbars simultaneously (for example, check/uncheck several at once).

Optional: Group related items together for better organization (e.g. “Drawing Toolbars,” “Layer Widgets,” etc.).

Benefit:

This would make the interface more agile, intuitive, and user-friendly, especially for new users or those who frequently customize their workspace.

Thank you for considering this suggestion, and for all your work on LibreCAD!

Best regards,

Usuario

well, technically that's possible - yet what for?

It's not productive to enable/disable toolbars each time.

On the contrary, it's simpler to create workspaces (user-defined layouts for UI) for different tasks and switch between them when needed.

The only thing that they are supported in 2.2.2 alpha (dev version is located there
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/releases/tag/2.2.2_alpha-latest

More information how to use workspaces may be found there: https://youtu.be/FwvXs1eDYBA

Thus for quick adjustment - current functionality is fine, and for specific tasks (like viewing/reading, ordinary drawing, dimensioning etc) - workspaces are more convenient, as for me.
