Drawing working gears
Drawing working gears
(OP)
I occasionally draw gears, usually to be CNC'd from plastic. We have been using Camnetics Geartrax but having just upgraded SW have found it isn't compatible. Apparently it wont be compatible with the next version next time we upgrade either. I'm a bit loathed to keep buying it every time as I only use it occasionally. Are there any alternative methods, still giving a good tooth profile? I usually use Mod3 metric gears but it is nice to have a choice.

Don't get the idea that I wish to bash GearTrax. This was more an exploration into the geometry.
I have a gear model available. It's been used in real-life machines.
