Topic: Viewports

I'll ask this in the hope that I get a quick answer. We all know what acad help is like....i've spent the last 10 minutes trying to find the answer there.

Is it possible to convert a rectangular viewport to a polygonal viewport? If so, how?

Thanks in advance.

I'm just in a lazy mood today, and don't feel like drawing a polygonal viewport to replace a rectangular viewport and setting it all up. 

*blows whistle*  TIME OUT!!  You don't need LSP to do this.

All you have to do is create a pline in the shape of the viewport you want, then click on the existing viewport, right-click, select CLIP VIEWPORT then select the pline you just drew.  The new polygonal viewport will maintain the same layer settings.


Pretty simple...unless I'm missing something.   

...my question is what command does this run?
