AutoCAD One: switching toolsets without relaunching from desktop shortcuts?

AutoCAD One: switching toolsets without relaunching from desktop shortcuts?

I have AutoCAD 2019 running and I have the subscription that allows me to download all the toolsets.

 

So far from the post-install, everything is working the same way as it did before: treating all the toolsets as if they were stand-alone products.  Will Autodesk ever come around to integrate the toolsets as a switch in the ribbon tab or part of a command or lisp somehow to switch from one tool set to another?  It's pretty annoying to deal with so many separate profiles or needing to load my profile to each toolset.  Not to mention that it seems like a partial effort when there's like over 20 desktop shortcut icons to load Autocad in various ways.  Couldn't this all be simplified as the idea implies "AutoCAD One" as in 1 desktop icon and make it so that the user interface loads up the proper or selected toolset without needing to open another session of AutoCAD using the respective to the "/product" AutoCAD.exe command?

Autodesk for the foreseeable future will never bundle all the variants into one product.
Your question is posed regularly, search these forums if you want to read all the various opinions for/against it while Autodesk does what it does as I stated in the first sentence.

Question though: how many variants do you need to jump between in a day? and which ones? and why?

TIA

To the best of my knowledge, it's the same now as it has been for years and years. The "toolset" term is nothing but marketing. Still separate installs, still separate instances.

but isn't this "AutoCAD One" the first step as a "bundle" offer?

I know with many people in the past have their opinions on it. but with now with the toolsets now available under 1 license, wouldn't it make sense to do away with the "/product" switch and have it as a button or pulldown menu of which tool set you want to use rather than relying on using desktop shorcuts or other methods to deploy the product and have it load up all respective stuff?  

Being in a multi-discipline environment/company is the first item I have to keep in mind to work with.

it is bundled you get 1 license for multiple Autocad based products

i have not heard of Autodesk making a one install for the Autocad based products maybe in a few years we will get this like we did for Revit

Again, it's all marketing. It sounds good to potential renters.

 

But in the grand scheme of things, I don't feel like Autodesk has any interest in this right now. It's been like this for years, and I don't see anything on the consumer side that warrants them stopping to work on this.

You would think so, but its not. It is just a marketing hype.
