Cannot Get Autocad Mechanical to Start in Vanilla Mode

[rjay75]

Hello,

We have just upgraded to 2015 Autocad Mechanical as part of the Product Design Suite Ultimate. We use Autocad in vanilla mode. We are trying to get Autocad to start in the vanilla profile. Starting from the "Autocad 2015" icon the options have the current profile at the vanilla profile, but  all of the mechanical menus, tabs, commands, and options are still loaded and visible.

How can the Autocad be reset to load in vanilla and not mechanical.

This image is for C3D rather than Mechanical, but check the Windows Start menu and see if there is an option to run Mechanical as AutoCAD.  If there is, simple right click and drag and copy start icon to the desktop.

Thanks for the link. Was able to get it fixed by trying the method described in the linked thread.
