V8i Essentials - 02 - Working with Views (1:22)

Module Overview
Microstation's view windows look much like those in other applications. However, from an operational standpoint, MicroStation's views cannot really be compared to view ports in other applications. They are fundamentally different in their approach to displaying graphics. In other applications, the paper is mover under the view. In MicroStation, the views move over the paper.

Another difference is that you can have as many as eight windows open at one time, in one file. Although these views are independent of one another, they allow you to work seamlessly between them. This chapter presents tools and techniques for working with multiple views.
