Ghost rectangles - viewports

I have picked up some files that ahve been converted from 2009 - 2011, and I have found in the Design Layer a whole series of rectangles. All with no hatch and no line weight.

My powers of deduction have come to the conclusion that they represent the viewports on other layers.

I have been deleting them with no adverse impacts.

Anyone know why they are created, or where they come from?

Possibly by editing the design layer through the viewport and having create reference object (or something like that - just rushing out and too later to check exact name!) checked on the edit viewport dialog. This creates a rectangle on the design layer, the same size as the viewport crop. It can be really useful if you are breaking up a large plan into smaller viewports.
