Involute Spline creation
Involute Spline creation
(OP)
I need to generate a true involute spline using AutoCad R14. The form must be correct so a tool layout can be produced. This layout will be used to dress the form on a grinding wheel to produce the cutting tool. I have tried the Machinery's Hand Book method utilizing the base circle, tangent line, and arc length, but can not correlate that to the true size of the tooth profile.

You could try creating a parametric curve.
None-the-less there are several programs that will draw an involute gear tooth. One used in solids is GearTrax by Camnetics, Inc.
