Hi,

@augustineisac06

>> How do you design a gear

I doubt you'll get answers without clear information (what program are you working on?).

Do you want to know how to design a gear or draw a gear in AutoCAD? If the latter, the link that @pendean provides is a nice tutorial of how to draw a very simplified gear. The profile of real gear teeths are not composed of arcs as used in the tutorial. They are involute curves as described here (scan down to Appication).

Here's some good infomration on gear design.
