Just another thought on this: The CAD I use has many panels for all sorts of tasks and contexts and the way they deal with this is that the panels can be and by default are docked at the sides of the main window, where they can be slide-out on hover/click or can be pinned so they stay out. They can also be 'torn off' and floated anywhere.

I should add, though, that the 'common' setup when using this CAD is three screens, as it's very common to have schematic, layout, 3D and/or datasheets all open at the same time. It's barely even usable on a laptop.
