Pattern function; why are you like this

idletimed — Tue, 11 Jan 2022 03:48:22 GMT

Be in drawing mode

Rectangular pattern function

Drag for direction

Fail to see that active field has automatically swapped from Distance to Number of Iterations

Enter 3000

Cry bitter tears as all tangential processing functions shut down, cooling fans ramp up to take off speeds and blast furnace temperatures rise from my laptop.

I can't be the only one surely. A confirm operation button might slow down the workflow a little but it'd save muppets like myself a fair amount of hassle for operations that could crash their system.

Thanks for the reminder. I've logged an improvement (FUS-96818) asking for a confirmation dialog when Sketch Pattern quantity is over a (yet undetermined but unhealthy) threshold.

It is generally not advisable to create large patterns in sketches . Patterning geometry or features is much more performant!
