Note: If the saved view's name contains a space, it must be enclosed within double quotation marks in the key-in. For example, if the view is named My View, use the key-in VI=?My View?.

If the saved view's name contains a double quotation mark, the double quotation mark must be preceded by a backslash. In the following example, the view name contains a double quotation mark and spaces. If the view is named Scale 1/4" =1', use the key-in VI=?Scale 1/4\" = 1'?.

In the key-in syntax, the following switches are valid. If no switches are specified, the command uses the default options: Camera Position, Levels, and View Attributes.
