I made my viewports all rectangular to start just so I could get all of my drawings oriented correctly on my page. I always go back and clip them later to start and stop at the station numbers I want them to start and stop at. My issue is that after I've clipped it, I can never get it to accept my style changes completely. I selected the viewport and put it on the no plot layer that I've made for it but the polyline that assumingly was what was used to clip my viewport does not take on the same properties which means it plots when I don't want it to. I thought I would be able to delete the polyline and just keep the clipped viewport but I'm having no luck with that. I've attached a couple of images in hopes that someone can help me figure this out. I do not want my viewports to plot but I need to be able to clip them against a polygon so I can make it the shape I want it.
Do a List of the Polyline and Viewport and post the results.

Ok, here are my list results:
Command:
Command: li LIST 2 found
LWPOLYLINE Layer: "0"
Space: Paper space
Layout: Layout1
Handle = 7365
Closed
Constant width 0.0000

Clipping entity for viewport with handle = 6D24
VIEWPORT Layer: "-vport"
Space: Paper space
Layout: Layout1
Visual Style: 2D Wireframe
Handle = 6d24
Status: On and Active
Scale relative to Paper space: 0.0200xp
Annotation Scale: 1" = 50'
View lock is on
Clipping is on, clip entity handle = 7365
center point, X= 40.1411 Y= 6.5913 Z= 0.0000

OK. So I would say. Change the layer of the Polyline to -vport.

Ding ding ding ding....TAHHH DAHHH! We have a winner. Jeez....leave it to me to make something SOOOO simple into something SOOOO complicated. LOL! Thank you so much for turning on the llight bulb.
Happens to all of us. Glad it did turn out to be simple. I don't know whether I could handle complicated today.
