The viewcube is for the 3D environment.

Maybe go to options/3D Modeling/Display Tools in Viewport/ Display the View Cube/ and check 2D Wireframe visual style.

What is the benefit of displaying the viewcube in a 2D environment?

What work are you doing in 2D that require you to look at 3D models?
I thought you were doing electrical schematics?

Ahhhh.......no you don't. There should be no need to enter the viewport to change the orientation of the display. You can do that from the Ribbon while you are in your layout.

hahaha guess I said it wrong...i want to erase the viewports, and take the geometry out and flatten it all for 2d...the other guys i work with dont know 3D so they say get rid of it. but when I do, it skews all crazy like and I gotta keep going back to the 'top' view, cause autocad defaults the commands to that view...thats where the viewcube comes in handy...but its never there!!
tried NAVCUBE, cubesettingsanwhatnot, all that...
