Proper pattern preview

[kvanboerdonk]

Currently the pattern is previewed with black dots, that do not really give you an idea of the end result.

Next to that, these black dots are not always previewed at the location where the regenerated pattern ends up, giving a wrong preview.

The pattern preview should provide a proper suggestion for the real end result of the pattern.

Ideally you would get a fully generated (attached) preview of the pattern represented by the actual shape of the pattern members.

Like is done in Creo Elements Direct: http://youtu.be/B6IvCIk2MM0

Of course the pattern must not regenerate slowly during edits. If this is inevitable, the the preview glasses option may provide the solution to regenerate the pattern only once.
