Hmm, never tried.. I dont think it's part of xsi, but it should(or more likely could) be doable if you create your own command.. I have no idea what the values for front / side etc are tho :(

Maybe something like

Application.Desktop.ActiveLayout.Views.SetAttributeValue "viewport:" & GetViewportUnderMouse & "" & ", |>insert vieport state here<| "

Iv prolly goosed up the "" there but might be a place to start ?, would be interested if you get it working.. using the viewportundermouse thing would let you swap viewing angles per port very fast :)

Edit: ooh, I stand corrected.. sorry :D.. just had a look through the keyboard mapping bit of xsi again.. if you select the XSI group it has front view, left view, and top view as options.. just drag them to a keyboard combination you want and sorted, seems to use the viewportundermouse thing :).. rock on. In my own defence; through sods law I looked for "right view" for no particular reason, after noticing it wasn't there decided to reply :P
