2014: Creating a hole in a viewport that actually works

Hi, so I'm making a hole in a viewport by drawing a polygonal viewport and drawing an outline of the main viewport and an outline of the area I want cut out, all in one (see cyan line in  attached picture 1).

 

So I want to exclude the area in the bottom centre of the page, but include the area outside of that. In that hole, I would then draw another viewport.

 

In model space, to demonstrate the problem, I've written "THIS SHOULD SHOW UP" around the hole and "THIS SHOULD NOT SHOW UP" within the hole.

 

When I either export or print to PDF, the text behind the viewport shows up anyway (see attached picture 2 for PDF created).

 

Why doesn't my method of creatijng a viewport with a hole work? And how do I do it properly?

 

The workaround is obvious: move stuff around in the viewport so nothing is behind the hole, but I won't always be able to do this, so I need a proper solution really.

 

Cheers
