Bevel Gears with straight teeth

Is it possible, using Design Accelerator to have Bevel Gears with straight teeth?  I've tried every combo I can think of, and they are always curved teeth.  Gears are not my most knowledgeable subject.  I usually have the engineers produce the specs, & I get to draw them - they are not happy with the pictorial results.

Thanks in advance.

Or just create another gear on the side of the gear with the beveled teeth and project the side profile and extrude to get a straight gear.

I think I've figured it out.

Would you mind sharing the answer? I have pondered this too... The higherarchy here does not like the said pictoral results of a helical gear either.

 

tks!

By setting the Helix angle to 0 degrees - accepting the error messages that pop up & continue.  The gears/teeth are generated & seem pictorially satisfactory.  I wouldn't pass it on to a CNC without lots of notes, though.  I was trying to put the pitch angle as the helix angle & that's what screwed me up.
