NOTE AutoCAD Mechanical automatically starts the last workspace you used,
but not your workspace (My Workspace) the next time you launch the application.
To use your workspace, click on the drawing Workspace toolbar.
NOTE If you add or remove any toolbars on the predefined workspace, these
changes do not appear in the active workspace the next time you use that
workspace. The changes appear when you select Automatically save workspace
changes in the Workspace Settings dialog box.
