Component Pattern CAM Causing Memory Leak?

After the most recent update, whenever I click previously built component pattern toolpaths in CAM, Fusion eats my memory for lunch trying to display the toolpaths. If I click the individual operation within the pattern, it's fine (no laggy than usual), but if I click the pattern itself, the issue occurs. In Task Manager I can watch it fill up the memory. My desktop has 64 GB and Fusion eats up all free RAM when this issue occurs. Same thing happens on my laptop with 32 GB.

 

Turning off links and leads and only displaying cutting moves seems to fix the problem. I didn't have to do this before, but it's a reasonable work-around for now. Admittedly, these are large patterns, but nothing outside the realm of reason. One pattern is a 24x24 of 121 caps for a project I'm working on. The other is a 12x12 pattern of 400 small circles with a profile operation on each.

 

I know I've got a lot of CAM setups in one file for different components and stock sizes, so it's going to be a bit laggy, but this issue is new.

There's a known issue with toolpath drawing that we are chasing down. I would guess that you're suffering from that. Hopefully we'll be able to push a fix sometime soon.

Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply. I'll keep using this work around (turning off link and lead viewing). It's workable because I can at least see that the pattern is properly propagating. I can select leads and links on an off while selecting the source of the pattern to see that stuff.

Appreciate the prompt reply!
