Gear timing

Gear timing

Gear timing

(OP)
Hi!

I'm running analyses on an assembly that uses a set of gears. I would like to adjust the timing, but I can't seem to find a "clean" way of doing it.

I've attempted adjusting the timing by using assembly datum planes and the carrier body as references (they are the only ones available). It works, but isn't very stable.

What I would like to do is to set the angle between the gears, using references on the gears themselves, but I can't seem to find any way of achieving that.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!
