has anyone created a tool similar to the old IGDS feature overview box for dgn - large files

DGN Overview feature for V8? SS?, Connect?going forward.
A long time ago there was a tool that allows you to see where you were in the DGN- Big Picture with a box or view area that followed your screen movements in another view. We work in long road projects that it would be helpful in and with the usage of aerial photography you could find or see your place much easier. I'm working on a conversion of some old V7 files - standards - a dgn with about 100 sheets in of Bridge Design standards and details. when you look at the big picture on say view 1 it's just a bunch of blobs, if I zoom in on view 1 to a closer area and then find a working spot in view 5 it would be nice to see in view 1 where I really am and as i move around the overview keeps me from zooming in and out to find my place.
This all may seem simple or trivial, but if you ever used it back in the dinosaur years of CADD you would remember what you had and how beneficial this feature really was. I had a sample DGN file I wanted to attach, but not attachment option for files.
