Tony,
Ask this question direct to Heidenhain.
Unlike people like Fanuc who charge for every parameter change even though it's in the machine, Heidenhain are very helpful and open.

Go to http://www.hexagon.de/down_e.htm and select the correct download for the type of spline you want.
The demo will allow you to draw a 25T spline only but once drawn you then have a standard to work to.

Can anyone help with a full list and explanation of these please?
I have done a Google but I gave up after 12 pages as all I found were people doing training from $90 to $900 per day/ course.
Rather good when you have to use a standard but it's still on the secrets list.
Next thing is they will...
Sorry Bill,
Not got it on this computer any more.
I'll have to have a look on some backkup CD's
It was an Excel spreadsheet and if you looked on the web there are many links to a free viewer.

If not why, ?? it works for many others.
I'd like to draw your attention to a small program written by a Guy called Mark Thomas.
He's called this program GenGCode.
Basically what it is , is a program made up of modules of simple shapes and operations where you fill in dialog boxes and the program then writes the G Code for your...
As the original post stated using 3/4" acrylic plate as the material the best way to achieve these gears with good precision is to pass the DXF files over to a laser cutting company.
This material cuts very well and leaves a mirrow surface finish.

Xracer,
Using the few details you have given this works out to a stock gear of 3.5 module.
OD of a mod gear is number of teeth +2 x mod so 48 + 2 = 50 x 3.5 = 175mm = 6.89"
Tooth thickness is Pi x mod / 2 sp 3.1412 x 3.5 / 2 = 5.49mm = 0.216"
This looks as close as you can get...
One piece of software that I have seen for doing technical manuals is called Isodraw.
