VB-View is the graphical link to the documents stored in VisualBASE. VB-View supports a wide variety of up to date formats, ranging from AutoCAD DWG (R9-2000), Microstation DGN, CALS compatible scanned drawings to popular raster image formats like TIFF, GIF, TGA and industry standard office formats like Microsoft Word and Excel, WordPerfect, and Lotus. Also viewable are transfer formats like DXF, plot files like HPGL HPGL2, Calcomp, Postscript, and many other emerging standards.

VB-View offers fast and easy zoom and pan features using a bird's eye, and allows you to manipulate and compare files with File Overlay and File Compare functions. An easy-to-use network tool governs access control through user profiles, building levels of security for your network. In addition to all of these features, VB-View allows you to create multi-layer redlining and commenting without altering the original files. This means that different users working on the same drawings can communicate change requests, revision notes, and reference comments, all with a comprehensive toolbox. With document hyperlinking, a completely separate document can be embedded to become a permanently linked record -- keep track of and jump to drawing revisions or component drawings easily!
