Unfortunately I can not open your part in NX3.
But FWIW, I've started designing spur gears using the tutorial below. It took me quite some time before I was successful, though. The gears match other gears I have compared them with, so I expect the tutorial to be correct.
When I was done, I had to split the file into 3 new ones. For gears under 18 teeth (undercut), gears 18 to 41, and 41 and above. Numbers from memory, you'll find the numbers yourself.
