No options in assembly level circular pattern...WHY!?

In part, circular pattern (features) has the following options

-geometry pattern (VERY USEFUL)

-propagate visual properties

-full preview

-partial preview

In assembly, circular pattern has only

-propagate visual properties

I really am in need of the geometry pattern option in the assembly level. Why would it not be available...any ideas...see attached
