Or, you can just put a filled rectangle with a shaped "Hole" over the layout box.

That's know as thinking "Outside the Box" ;)

Good idea Joe! I've always done that step in plan. Never occurred to me to do that in layout. Probably more useful in plan in most cases, but definitely a few instances where doing in layout would make more sense.

Ok so if I understand, I can send the drawing to the layout and in the layout draw a shape to suit my needs?

Essentially yes.  You create a rectangle with a solid fill (background color) and then select that polyline and click on the "Create Hole" icon on the Edit Toolbar.  This will allow you to create a rectangular hole in the original rectangle.  That hole can be shaped anyway you want.
