Re: Subtractive Pipe with multiple paths

If there had been some thought put into the position of the model, it would be trivial to use a multitransform.

There is no file so, impossible to say if that is still a way forward.

Do we really need another definition of part? ;)

Re: how to make polar pattern from pockets around cylinder

I just use the face of the thread for a sweep, but if you want to be rock solid, use the profile sketch. (It may mean changing the attachment/placement, and reversing the direction etc. YMMV.)

Re: how to make polar pattern from pockets around cylinder

The Pattern will slow the model down, better to keep the patterns at two instants of each until the model is complete. Then go into the properties and change to the required number.

Also it's important not to break the single solid rule, does the pattern fit properly?

Re: PartDesign - SubtractivePipe - ShapeBinder

It is doable with SSB's, use an offset equal to the width of the cut face (-10mm) for the path.

Select the profile SSB in the 3D view then the tool, hide the pad and select the edges for the path from the path SSB.

Re: sketch: Center Line and symmetry

Applying symmetry constraint will cause an over-constraint situation, there are only 3 degrees of freedom left, the length of the lines and the distance from the axis. If the symmetry is required, delete the horizontal constraint on the three top points..... An added note if there is symmetry use it...
