Transformation/Circulation Pattern

[descatia]

How do you skip one particular object in a circular pattern? I made an object at the 6 o'clock position, and then I made 8 instances at 45 deg, so I got objects at the 12, 1.30, 3,4.30,6, 7.30, 9, and 10.30 o'clock positions. I want to eliminate the 12 o'clock object. I looked at the "more" options in the window, but no luck there. I know I can create the original object at the 1.30 o'clock position, and do 7 instances, but I was wondering if there is some smarter method out there

While in the pattern definition dialog, you should be able to click on the orange points (in 3D) to deactivate specific instances of the pattern.
