Remarks

AutoCad does not allow the creation of viewports from open shapes such as LwPolylines, Polylines, or ellipse arcs; but if they are edited afterward, making them open, it will not complain, and they will work without problems. So, it is possible to use open shapes as clipping boundaries, even if it is not recommended. It might not be supported by all programs that read DXF files and a redraw of the layout might be required to show them correctly inside AutoCad.
Only X and Y coordinates will be used the entity normal will be considered as UnitZ.
When the viewport is added to the document this entity will be added too.
