We fairly regularly design assemblies using moulded gears. Is there a program or plugin available (compatible with Pro E) that will generate the gear tooth profiles from basic data ((ie pcd, module, No of teeth etc) which can be used directly or imported into sketcher as say a dxf file ?
Thanx
 
We use TK Solver from You have to use the results to create points, create a curve thru the points and a cut from the curve, then a pattern from the cut - sounds a bit 'round the houses', but works well
