I recently posted this idea in the idea station :

This idea would be an extension or complement to that idea. Currently when deleting a pattern only the pattern feature is deleted, but all the patterned objects are still in the sketch unconstrained. Surely it is possible to pattern the constrints between the patterned features as well. Perhaps a little check box "pattern contraints" ? This would of course need to be be mutually exclusive with the "delete patterned objects" I suggested in the other idea (so it should be a radio button).
There are valid use cases when it makes sense to delete the pattern feature, for example when one wants to add assymetric features to the patterned entities. It adds additional, unencessay work when the constraints have to be re-created for all the patterned objects.
