to draw a gear
to draw a gear
(OP)
1- How can i draw a gear in SWX. Can a simple revolve command create a gear, is there any extra step that must be done?
2- How can i find parts library on the net (free of charge)?
3- Can i find a tutorial about SWX (.DOC file or .PDF file or something else)?

It will do just about any gear out there. I used it for many years and I loved it. Just type in the information in the spaces provided and walla a gear made in SW right before your eyes.
But if you have a profile (Sketch) of a tooth I would just make a circular pattern of that feature.

RE: to draw a gear
1. Use a program such as geartraxx, or
2. Model them manually.
Basically to manually model a gear there are many diffrent methods depending on what type of gear it is, obviously spur gears are the easiest to model, and cosist of three basic features, a base revolve, a cut or boss-extrude to define one of the tooth profiles. and a circuilar pattern of the extrude feature.
Helical gears are a bit more tricky, but basically the same rules apply, Revolve the base feature, then define a helix to use a path for sweeping the tooth profile, and then a circular pattern of the sweep.
I guess the question is how much detail do you actually need on the gear?

APPENG; I don't need details on part, i need details only in section wiev of the part in draft. Do i have to draw a tooth profile and circ. pattern it? You know it will be great deal to draw an involute profile.. I will model a spur gear.
RE: to draw a gear
You can do that in two ways. You can model the total gear blank and cut the tooth out of it and pattern it, or you can model the minor (root) diameter and ADD the tooth profile and then also pattern it.
You can do this with helical gears too like this:
