Viewports Panel - AutoCAD

Question

I sometimes find the rectangular viewports a bit limiting when I am setting out a complex arrangement of objects in paper space, is there a more flexible way to work with viewports?

Answer

You will find several commands located on the Viewports panel on the View Tab, (or the Pull-down menus); these enable you to draw irregular Polygonal shaped viewports or convert Objects to Viewports...The objects you can convert include circles, ellipse, closed polylines or splines and even revision clouds.
