Family Table a Pattern Table

I've created a pattern table of holeson a cylindrical part. I need different hole patterns on different parts that "were family tabled" off of the original part. I understand that I can create different pattern tables and then select the one I need in the family table, but the problem I'm running into is that to start the pattern, I need a hole that every pattern has, and none of my patterns have a hole in the exact same spot every time. For example, a pattern of 4 holes spaced .1 vertically and horizontally from the center axis does not have a similar hole as a 4 hole pattern spaced .3 from each axis. Is there a way to turn off or change the dimensionsthe first instance of a pattern table?
