A standard hole that is patterned cannot be redefined to become a simple hole or vice versa

[AbdelkerimBench]

A standard hole that is patterned using a dimension driven pattern cannot be redefined to become a simple hole or vice versa

This behavior affects only Dimension Driven Patterns, a direction driven or axis driven pattern allows for changing the hole type.

In this case the hole cannot be redefined
