Re: strange results when exporting to stl / step

only one body please

fixed objects does not mean contraint: the 1st sketch must see all its arcs joined and (better) tangent

Re: question about fillet...

in this case, make the fillets before making the slots
you will answer me "yes but I was told to do the fillets at the end" you should not always believe what you say :lol:
another detail: avoid doing “on surface” sketches because of TNP

Re: MultiTransform on PolarPattern → Traceback

this is not exactly what I understand (from the French Wiki) multitransform is possible by using the basic elements
in my example I keep your version of a Polar 2X at 90° and I add a Multitransform of the same hole 3x at 90° to the right
we cannot multitransform a Polar

Re: Struggling with sketch of bottle holder (race bike)

it's not more complicated to make circles than straight lines, you just need to know where to put the tip of the compass (on LCD screens, it's easier than on old glass screens :lol: ), but I'm misplaces, the tool for making arcs by 3 points is very useful

Re: MultiTransform on PolarPattern → Traceback

you cannot apply a Multitransform on a PolarPattern (the reverse either)
Multitransform is made precisely to do as many transformations as you want, it still has to be compatible

Re: Pocket goes away when I add polar array

I see that you are in PartDesign, but you made an Array in Draft, by mixing the 2 workbenchs you created the error

Re: PartDesign Thickness doesn't cross planes?

since I'm a good grandpa, I'm going to show you something funny:
you select the upper face (oval) you Pad and at the end you obtain a new perfectly circular section and the same diameter as the base
