How to add the View Control short-cut on long right click to your workspace?

Question

I tried the following and I still do not see the menu. 
 I am on version 10.03.00.43 OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition.

Answer: 
 The View Control uses a custom macro that must be part of your active workspace. In the default installation, the macro is located at C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE\Configuration\Organization-Civil\_Civil Default Standards - Imperial\Macros\ViewSet.mvba. You can copy that to your workspace and set the MS_VBAAUTOLOADPROJECTS configuration variable to load it automatically.

Let's say you were using the metric workspace then you would also need to make sure that you have the dgnlib for the menu: 
 C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE\Configuration\Organization-Civil\_Civil Default Standards - Metric\Dgnlib\GUI\Custom_Menu.dgnlib 
 and the following file 
 C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE\Configuration\Organization-Civil\_Civil Default Standards - Metric.cfg 
 would need this config variable set 
 MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST > $(CIVIL_ORGANIZATION_STANDARDS)Dgnlib/GUI/*.dgnlib 
 This is in addition to needing 
 MS_VBAAUTOLOADPROJECTS > $(CIVIL_ORGANIZATION_STANDARDS)Macros/ViewSet 
 where the latter file resides here 
 C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE\Configuration\Organization-Civil\_Civil Default Standards - Metric\Macros\ViewSet.MVBA

 As you are not familiar with VBA, have you thought about creating a View Group in the seed file, that would be available via the ViewGroup toolbar. See the MicroStation help file for details. https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/MicroStation%20Help-v17/en/GUID-E346EF04-9695-BD05-F3D0-973D948AA3B2.html 
 Your views would need to be applied to a 3D model as isometric view (for example) make no sense in a 2D world.
