How to switch to the Mechanical workspace in AutoCAD Mechanical
Accepted solution
Hi @Anonymous,
It sounds like you have plain AutoCAD installed, or are running AutoCAD Mechanical as a Vanilla profile.
Check the profile being used in OPTIONS under the Profiles tab. If you see <<ACADMPP>> and <<Vanilla>> you have Mechanical running. Try setting <<ACADMPP>> as current and check the workspace. You should see the Mechanical Workspace at the to top of the list.
If you do not see <<ACADMPP>> in the profiles, this is likely plain AutoCAD and Mechanical will need to be installed. You can do so from your Autodesk Account.
Please let me know if this helps.

@gregory_fulk Content tab? Do you mean the CONTENT LIBRARIES palette
Did you turn off the RIBBON? if not...
Yes, this Content tab had disappeared on me somehow:
And when I went down to the workspaces, Mechanical wasn't an option like the previous person said in conversation above. I only had Draft, 3D Basics, and 3D Modeling when I pulled up the workspaces. I just reset to the default settings and now they returned like in the snip below.
