Will it take some time to create the polylines? Yes.
But how much time are you wasting trying to get the "Pick Point" method to work out?
Now having said that, I have not seen the geometry you are working with. Maybe it's a mess with gaps and overshoots, etc. -or- maybe it's nice and tight and AutoCAD LT is just working poorly with it (as it's known to do...)
So, I can't really answer this -> "how am I to fix it or stop it from happening" other than to say start with a closed polyline.
