Remove VIEWPORT Entity in saved DXF file

Is there a way to prevent QCAD from writing a VIEWPORT Entity to the exported DXF file?

The exported file is read back by an external program that does not support VIEWPORT entities, so it would be great if I could somehow disable this feature in QCAD.

Thanks,
Alex

There's always at least one viewport, representing the current viewing area on the display.

If the target system does not support viewport entities, it might expect an older DXF version that does not support the viewport entity type. Try exporting as DXF R9 (see File > Save As).
