Hi Diego,

you can read the source code for a particular toolbar example, say, cadToolBar (left tool bar area, main drawing/editing toolbars).

In qc_applicationwindow.cpp, around line 1562, it reads like,

   t->setAllowedAreas(Qt::LeftToolBarArea | Qt::RightToolBarArea);
   // t->setVerticallyStretchable(true);
        addToolBar(Qt::LeftToolBarArea, t);

    cadToolBar = new QG_CadToolBar(t, "CAD Tools");

A toolbar of QG_CadToolBar() type is created and added LeftToolBarArea.

The QG_CadToolBar() class manages which cad toolbar to show. read source code in src/ui/forms/qg_cadtoolbar*

I suppose you may simply add a new cadToolBar to the system. following examples in qg_cadtoolbar* (.h, .cpp, and .ui).

For example, add a button in qg_cadtoolbarmain to open a new sub cadtoolbar, and create your own sub cadtoolbar.
