I don’t think it’s a good idea to add the command only if it’s already present.

@shaise what do you think?

[shaise]

@pierreporte , please explain. what do you mean if it's already present?

[pierreporte]

@shaise The code checks if Sketcher_NewSketch or PartDesign_NewSketch are already present on the toolbars, and adds PartDesign_NewSketch only when they are not already there.

[shaise]

@pierreporte , Yes, and what do you think should be the correct behavior?
In any case, I'm against setting it as a separate toolbar, it should be added as part of the main sheetmetal toolbar. Also the best thing is to automatically detect if it is a part sketch or partdesign sketch. if not, this should at least somehow be clear to the user what is he using. The icons are too similar

[pierreporte]

I would prefer that it’s added regardless of what the user already added to the toolbar, because it’s a UI/UX design choice, so it seems we agree.

As for the two similar commands, the best solution is to merge the two commands so that Sketcher_NewSketch can do everything: FreeCAD/FreeCAD#12106

@shaise so to summarize you agree with the idea but not with the application of it ?

@zokhasan what are your thoughts. Would you consider modifying it. Also considering the unknown future of FreeCAD/FreeCAD#12106

Sorry @luzpaz , I just saw this message.
Honestly I'm not sure about this path, so I'll pass.
