Greetings community
I want to create a pocket by slightly less than 7.91 but I don't know the exact amount. For those saying it doesn't matter, fine, but there will be other cases where I need to pocket by a distance that I can only get by selecting two points on the screen. Can this be done?
I tried drafting a line and using that but to no avail. Just changing decimal place settings will get me closer but never exact if the number is irrational.

Re: pocket by specific distance BY SELECTION?
You have to create two (parallel) Datum planes, one on the each point. Then map or draw a sketch on the first plane, and select Pocket type "Up to face" and then select the second plane.
