Hello,
Is there a size limit for the size of a a patterns file?
This file is much larger than the files that came with
Qcad.

There is no size limit but there is a time out for rendering hatches under Edit > Application Preferences > Graphics View > Appearance > Timeout for hatch rendering

I'd certainly not recommend using a 1MB hatch pattern definition with QCAD. Note that it will also blow up your DXF files.
