How do I load Raster Design 2014 in AutoCAD 2014 in Product Design Suite?

Just a note that AutoCAD 2014 in the Product Design Suite is actually AutoCAD Mechanical 2014 in a the Vanilla Profile.  The splash screen of AutoCAD 2014 comes up which makes things a bit confusing.  If you hover over AutoCAD 2014, you can see the bubble help confirm the launch attributes.

You can check out this blog post for further details as well.

If you have installed all the products in your Product Design Suite, when you launch AutoCAD Mechanical 2014, Raster Design 2014 will show up in a tab in that workspace.  When you load AutoCAD 2014, the Raster Design tab will not show up.
