2d production drawings of machine components
(OP)
hello everyone,
i have a question about solidworks drawing capability. can solidworks make 2d production drawings of machine components like gear mates and sprockets? (as we all now, these components have special representations in drawings, which is different from their real geometrical representations, and are according to certain standards)

IMO - Some standards need to be changed from old drafting board standards where it would be tedious to draw entire gear or sprocket and thus the simplified technique. Why continue that technique into the modern world?

This is the traditional drafting board method of detailing a gear where a table is included that lists all of the specifics (diametral pitch, no of teeth, etc).

if you place a gear in an assembly, and get a section view of it in drawing, you'll get a incorrect representation which is dependent on the gears angular position. section cuts of meshing gears are even worse.
