The first six options on the list in the “View” drop down menu are commands common to all modules. Options below this point are module specific and will change to suit the application you are using.
These options that are common to all applications allow you to set the toolbars to your preference and also allow you to manipulate the actual view of your model. The first four options (Navigator/Browser/Status Bar/Toolbars) allow you switch toolbars on and off.
The rotation and zoom options allow you to manipulate the model space view itself.
The Navigator and Browser options have icons on the generic toolbar (Section 2.3.4) allowing you to switch them off without having to go into the drop down menu. Similarly, the Rotation and Zoom options are available as icons on the View tools area of the Generic toolbar.
