    Does anyone know how to make a viewport opaque? I am trying to "blowup"
    points on a map, but when I use the viewport to "blowup" the point, the
    contours in my main drawing are coming "through" the viewport. It's
    like I want to make the "box" of my viewport, not transparent, I only
    want to see the model space inside the viewport, not stuff behind it.

    TIA

    Once I wanted to do this for different reasons using vanilla AutoCAD.
    The 2002 edition doesn't have the extra power tools that the prior and
    following versions had, with the wipeout tool. So, I use a 3d face in
    model space to hide what I wanted to hide. Of course, I had to set the
    viewport to hide when plotting.

    If you do have the wipeout tool, then I would also recommend trying
    that.
