How to Create Collapsible Properties and Layers Panel

in Programming and customization

In AutoCAD, you can make a Layers panel and Properties panel, that are independent of one another, that open when you hover over the panel sidebar and then collapse when you move the mouse off the panel. I see that BricsCAD has LDOCK and RDOCK, that both collapse, but I don't see anyway to customize their content.

This would be extremely helpful because I have two monitors, with the BricsCAD main window open on the left screen and the properties and layer panel open on the right, but I will often times have a reference drawing on the right screen and it would be great if the layer/properties panel would collapse so I could see what is under them.

    It's not yet possible in current version of BricsCAD.

    Two monitors have never always been a poor solution.

    Best setup solution is 3 curved monitors dude.

    Ultra wide curved in the middle for BricsCAD and all panels, left and right curved smaller satellite monitors for file manager windows, photo’s, PDFs, email, teams, everything is always in front of you and not much head turning.

    Depending on individuals finances this can be solved in a day.

    You’d be waiting a decade for Bricsys to fix/update the GUI.

    I’ve had support requests to fix the Tool Palettes Panel for over 10 years, it’s still as broken and useless as it’s always been.
