Location, Instantiation, and Views

The following contains a large number of functions available to Microstation. Due to the graphical nature of the Microstation user interface, many related functions are grouped together into larger palattes. All functions will eventually be considered in the coursework, however not all of the options and selections shown below will be covered within the first few weeks. We therefore encourage you to familiarize yourself with the basic ideas behind the functionality shown here, but do not expect an in-depth knowledge of it, nor knowledge of all components shown.
