Part Design Pocket in Catia

Part Design Pocket in Catia

Part Design Pocket in Catia

(OP)
Why does my pocket act like a extrude, and fill the hole for the pocket?.

RE: Part Design Pocket in Catia

(OP)
It won't cut the center out, it just pads it.

RE: Part Design Pocket in Catia

If a subtraction feature, like a hole or pocket, is the first feature in a body, then it will be represented as a solid on the screen until it is assembled with another body.

RE: Part Design Pocket in Catia

You can verify what Mark suggested by looking at the icon in front of the Body containing your Pocket. If there is a little yellow minus symbol behind the gear, Pads and Pockets are created as negatives (Pockets and Pads). If the yellow symbol is a +, or there is no symbol, Pads and Pockests are created normally.

The polarity of the Body is determined by the first feature, as Mark said.
