Settings for "Number of Preview entities" ...

Post by Husky » Tue Sep 08, 2015 12:09 am

My settings for "Number of Preview entities" is 500,

if I use e.g. the "Paste along Entity" tool, with just a simple line in the clipboard, I only see 10 numbers in the preview ...

I can confirm that this preview is currently limited and fixed to 10. It has to do with the way how target points are calculated before it is known how many entities will be created. Collecting all target points can already be too costly for a preview.
