(OP)
When dimensioning visible lines of a pocket, should I create a broken-out section around the feature?

Yes, I have a plan view of an irregularly-shaped flat-bottomed pocket without draft.
Wondering about creating a broken-out section around the feature (i.e. using a spline and showing hatch lines). Somewhere in the back of my mind I feel that I shouldn't dimension a line (even a visible line) that is not a part edge, without showing material x-section. Am I over-thinking it?

As others have stated, if the bottom is flat, just dimension the profile with a depth callout. I do parts with milled pockets frequently, and I only add section views if the bottom of the pocket needs special attention.
