Hi @DarthBane55 , while Protect does sound like a very simple exercise because of undo/redo we actually track quite a bit of stuff behind the scenes. We do a chunk of work plus a bit of work for each setup/toolpath that is affected by the action to keep track of the difference so it can be undone.

 

This explains why it's not instant, and why it gets slower the more operations you have, but that being said, the times you are seeing here sound very excessive so if you encounter this on a part that you can share we would be very interested in seeing is, as there may be bugs involved that make this slower than it needs to be.

 

For reference I just tried with 300 ops on my laptop and Protecting them takes a couple of seconds.

 

One thought though: Have you turned on Automatic In-Process-Stock Generation (see screenshot)?

If so, try turning that off, as it does come with an overhead as we check every change to the document if IPS needs updating. And while that is not really necessary for Protect specifically, I don't think we have special handling for that today.
