Another with While function. (defun Up:to:within ( itm lst / out ) (if (vl-position itm lst) (progn (while (and (/= (setq rtn (car lst)) itm) (setq out (cons rtn out)) (setq lst (cdr lst)))) (setq out (reverse (cons itm out))) ) ) ) Usage: (Up:to:within "dd" '("aa" "bb" "cc" "dd" "ee"))

This is what i did for picking how many tabs of a template i wanted to insert. (setq lst '(Cover D01 D02 D03 D04 D05 D06 D07 D08 D09 D10)) (if (not (setq i (getreal "Number of Drawers [1-10]<10>:"))) (setq i 10) ) (setq i (1+ i)) (while (< i (vl-list-length lst)) (setq lst (vl-remove (nth i lst) lst)) )

Grab Process Monitor and watch file/registry activity during this 8-12 second wait. I bet there is some path, file, etc. that AutoCAD is asking the O/S for, and it can't find it, hence the delay. Another quick test is to unplug the network cable, disconnect all WiFi connections, etc., and test again. If there are no network connections, Windows will not have a delay when looking for whatever. It gives up immediately.

Problem is the number of pauses you need is dependant on the current qleader settings. Frank Whaley at Autodesk created qlset.lsp that can set any qleader settings to fit whatever you want to do with your qleader lisp and reset those settings afterwards if you wish. I've attached qlset.lsp and lead.lsp I wrote years ago as an example you can modify to suit your needs. I'd suggest reading Frank Whaley's code first to see all it can do. If you search for qlset.lsp you'll find many other examples. lead.lsp qlset.lsp

However, if I was to be asked how should table look like, I'd suggest something like this (double vertices in table represent segments of polyline)... BTW. It works and for S areas...
