    Dear Kerry,

    many thanks for reporting ... I will check this scenario to see what goes wrong.

    "What is the address for the development team so this can be sent direct ( next time )"
    normally, just send us a support request, it will be handled by the support and development team then.

    Where necessary, small dwg file(s) and code snippets can be attached there as well.
    many greetings !

    Dear Kerry,

    I found and fixed that problem (for V20) ...
    you might bypass the problem by using "Load Selection in BricsCAD", the result is also shown in Console window/panel.

    thanks & greetings !

    Thanks Torsten.
    I appreciate the effort and attention to detail.

    As an aside, a cleaner solution to the programming purpose was suggested by Roy :

    (vl-string-trim "()" (vl-prin1-to-string lst))
