<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Description">Description</span></h2>
<p>The <b>Pocket</b> tool cuts out a solid by extruding a sketch in a straight path and subtracting it from the solid.

<p>When creating a pocket, the <b>Pocket parameters</b> dialogue offers five different ways of specifying the length (depth) to which the pocket will be extruded:
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Dimension">Dimension</span></h3>
<p>Enter a numeric value for the depth of the pocket. The default direction for extrusion is into the support. Extrusions occur <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_normal">normal</a> to the defining sketch plane. Negative dimensions are not possible. Use the <b>Reversed</b> option instead.
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="To_first">To first</span></h3>
<p>The pocket will extrude up to the first face of the support in the extrusion direction. In other words, it will cut through all material until it reaches an empty space.
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Through_all">Through all</span></h3>
<p>The pocket will cut through all material in the extrusion direction. With the option <b>Symmetric to plane</b> the pad will cut through all material in both directions.
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Up_to_face">Up to face</span></h3>
<p>The pocket will extrude up to a face in the support that can be chosen by clicking on it.
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Two_dimensions">Two dimensions</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;color:green;">v0.17 and above</span> This allows to enter a second length in which the pad should extend in the opposite direction (into the support). Again can be changed by ticking the <b>Reversed</b> option.
</p><p><br />
</p>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Limitations">Limitations</span></h2>
<ul><li> Use the type <b>Dimension</b> or <b>Through All</b> wherever possible because the other types sometimes give trouble when they are being patterned</li>
<li> Otherwise, the pocket feature has the same <a href="/wiki/PartDesign_Pad#Limitations" title="PartDesign Pad">limitations</a> as the pad feature.</li></ul>
