Modifying pattern instances

After you apply a pattern, you can add to, delete, or replace any of the bound arguments in the pattern instance until you have the results you want in your design model. You can also modify the bound argument elements. If necessary, you can reapply the pattern.

Each pattern is unique. Pattern authors supply the code for the methods that are invoked when a change occurs to an argument. Thus, the results of unbinding and replacing arguments varies according to pattern design.
