In a simplified very easy way to understand, it allows you to "hide" constraints and make them visible again.
Thanks abdullah
This has indeed been a frequently requested feature.
(Not limited to but) for fully constrained sketches, used with expressions, now it seems like a good idea to only leave the (or some) "datums" on when you are finished, so that you can forget about the bulk general constraining work and concentrate on what is likely to actually change to adjust the design... the datums.
I am sure it opens for a lot of possibilities and...

And here starts the common procedure. You give the little finger and people take the whole arm.
Is it possible to select/deselect all constraints or even ranges like in a select box
?
... it is to be expected that we further develop this concept to facilitate the life of the designer. So yes, I expect people to familiarize with the mechanism and come forward with new feature requests. Otherwise, I wouldn't have created a Virtual Space toolbar just for one swiching icon...
As far as nobody shows me the middle one, I am happy to develop it further
In Werner's addition combined with the selection already allows for some filtering-selection mechanism. Hide everything (or switch to the alternative virtual space, where nothing is selected), select "datums" in the filter. Select those datums you want, or all of them. Right click "show constraints". Now you see only the (those) datums. If you want to see the rest you can switch to alternative virtual space back and forth depending what you need to see.
If that is not what you meant or it can be improved, just open up the discussion...

HaHa me too. A hide all checkbox would be cool.
Damn greedy users, we're never satisfied
If you have all shown and you can get rid of everything, just hit the "switch virtual space" icon in the toolbar. You get to the alternative virtual space where there is nothing.
In any case, hiding everthing is selecting everything, select first, press shift, select last, right-click, hide. It is a pitty that ctrl-A does not work as "select all" within the widget. We should rework sketcher shortcuts during 0.18 development cycle.
If what you want any other accelerator, for example, once you have things in the different virtual spaces, then it has to be implemented. Discuss it with the folks and let's see what we need...

Nice addition!

Thank you (both).
Thanks!! The sketcher is getting nicer for v0.17 release, isn't it?

How can I select more than one Constraint? To me it seems unchanged to abdullah's version. Is it a Mac problem?
If you do not use the checkbox, but the normal list item selection, just select with shift or ctrl (or whatever you Mac-ers use instead that), then right click and select the show or hide options from the menu.
