How to Create Your Own Toolbox in MicroStation V8i
The MicroStation V8i computer-aided design (CAD) software allows engineers and architects to perform tasks such as designing and maintaining infrastructure projects. Creating a custom toolbox in MicroStation V8i allows you to organize tools you use most. All it requires is you start with a copy of a standard toolbox or DGN library toolbox, and customize to fit your needs, or create a completely unique toolbox. You can designate your custom toolbox to appear within another toolbox, or make your custom toolbox stand alone.
