Pattern inside boundary

Maybe I should have just started an Idea station post for this but I wanted to see if anyone had input on this first.

 

I'm patterning holes on an oddly shaped plate and currently the only way I can keep holes from ending up too close to the edges is to manually suppress them in the pattern. This is extremely tedious and if I change something has to be updated manually. It would be awesome for a pattern to be able to apply inside of a boundary.

 

Is there some trick to do this more easily today or would you support an idea to add this feature to patterns?

 

For example only keep holes that are fully inside the selected profile.

Dang of course a bunch of cool things are added to 2025 after we adopted a 2 year upgrade cycle because upgrading Vault is a pain. We just upgraded to 2024 earlier this year so I can't play with this or an idea station post of mine that got added in 2025. I am really happy to see user requests being added.
