    - Saving spatial locations

    Saved Views can be used to save spatial locations in your map

    In addition to saved views acting as a "spatial location library", you could use them to open your map to a specific location. 

    To do that, use the save view key-in in a startup file as described here:

    https://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/askinga/w/askinga/1138/run-commands-when-starting-microstation

    Save and name a view of your specific location, then use VI=view_name key-in to open the file at that location.  You can also just put the VI= key-ins on a function key to avoid having to use the Saved View dialog. 

    For more information on using Saved Views, please refer to:
