X-Clip Polyline Self-intersecting Error

    To create my X-clips I am first drawing a polyline and then using the
    select polyline option inthe Xclip command. Almost everytime I do
    this I get this error:

    Self-intersecting clip boundaries are not acceptable.


    The polylines that I am using are not self-intersecting. They are
    simple basically rectangular outlines with several insets. I have
    tried creating the polyline using the close command and by just
    snapping it closed. Both methods give the error. The second or third
    time that I redraw the polyline (going CCW instead of CW, using
    different start point etc.) the Xclip command ussually works for no
    apparent reason.

    What is causing this?
    Is there a work around?


    I am using Autocad 2000i with Win2000.

    Thanks Zachary Kane
