I wish to add a line to the graphic for a pocket door in the style manager. I cannot locate where the drawing used for it. Can anyone point me to the drawing used so that I can modify it?

The default door style drawings are stored under:
"C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA 2015\enu\Styles\Metric\Door Styles (Metric).dwg" for Metric, and
"C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA 2015\enu\Styles\Imperial\Door Styles (Imperial).dwg" for Imperial
Welcome to the Discussion Groups!
The locations that Laks-Autodesk posted are for the default installation. Depending upon your circumstances, the source files may have been placed in a network location. If you did not do the installation (or create the deployment) and the files are not in the default locations, you will want to check with the person who did to verify where the out-of-the-box style source files were placed.
If you are not familiar with the process of modifying how a Door appears in a particular view (or, if you are, for others reading this thread), you will most likely need to add a custom display block to the Display Representation(s) that are active for the Display Configuration/View Direction combinations where the additional line is needed.
I hope this drawing is ok to show what I am trying to achieve.

From your dimensions, I assume you measure your Doors from the outside of the frame (rather than the inside of the frame). The attached ZIP file contains an AutoCAD Architecture 2015 file (2013 format) in which I have gotten close to what your PDF showed. I made the pocket line scale to the full width of the partition, rather than just the width of what I assume is a stud component. That way, one block can work with any partition (assuming that the Door Frame Depth is set to auto-adjust to the width of the hosting Wall).
If you absolutely have to limit the line to the stud component width, you will need to have separate custom display blocks (and either separate Door Styles or object-level Display Overrides) for each combination of stud component width and finish component(s) total depth, which would be tedious to manage.
