Solution

Delete User Preference File.

This is most likely caused by using a UPF (User Preference File) from a
previous version of MicroStation.
Remove this UPF and let MicroStation create a view

Steps:
1. Locate the UPF file (Workspace > About Workspace > Path under
"Preferences:")
2. Close MicroStation
3. Go to location of UPF.
4. Delete (user).upf
5. Restart MicroStation

Note: It is NOT recommended to use a UPF from a previous version of
MicroStation.
