Variable Pattern & Reference Geometry to drive seeds

These are two separate examples. In the first example, Reference Geometry to drive seed is mentioned before going to create pattern table. In the second example without mentioning these things straight away going to create pattern table. How is it possible?

Re: What do you think about SOLIDWORKS Dark Mode?
