Three relation types affect only patterns: distance, number, and angle. A distance relation controls the distance between features in the pattern. A number relation for a pattern controls the number of features in the pattern. An angle relation controls the angles between features in a pattern. See
About relations for patterns.

Limitations
• If a pattern modification fails, relations referencing the pattern remain unsolved and you will receive an error message in the display box.
• Distances are always positive, and values cannot be less than 1. If an expression evaluates to a negative distance or value, it is automatically set to 0. If an expression evaluates to less than 1 but greater than 0, it will be set to 1.
