The system includes a set of pattern types that you can
use to create patterns.
Before you begin
Important: By default, there is not a license
agreement to accept for the foundation pattern type. However, the
foundation pattern type must be enabled before the other pattern types
can be enabled. The foundation pattern is a prerequisite to using
all other pattern types.
