View Control Toolbox
The View Control toolbox contains tools for manipulating views in the active DGN file. Tools that are 3D specific are disabled when working in a 2D model.
All tools in a toolbox are not always visible by default. To see all tools, right-click in the toolbox and select Show All from the menu.
