Pocket Doors for Cabinets

You can show it open as it shows here by making a custom door with the side slides as part of the door symbol.  To show it with it slid in is currently not possible with the same cabinet.  Typically this is done by annotation.

A Ryan says easiest is to just specify but if you really must have it in 3D then...

It can be done with two cabinets on top of each other. Each is on a separate layer=one for it closed and one for it open. Change layers in 3D to show both ways.

 

For the open cabinet I put the pocket doors in the back with a custom door symbol. I also included the custom partitions in the back (suggested for install) I don't include the hardware since using partions but do make the spacing of the opening according to hardware specs.. Attached example grabbed from previous job but saved in X14.

Sorry I didn't check your sig first- either download 14 or here are the setting for the flipper door placed in the back. Basically set it 1/4" shorter than the opening, raise Z origin by 1/8", set depth to extend out from the cabinet sides an inch (or whatever-this cabinet is 21" deep)-lock depth and height in sizing tab by setting stretch planes OUTSIDE the symbol bounding box. Also if using a partition and having it set in an opening in the front then lock the width also (easier than adding more openings to the back IMO.

And here are the dbx face settings for the front and back of the open cabinet
