Hello Nelson,
I guess you are thinking of a POLAR array.
Once the shape of a tooth has been defined, you can use a Polar Array to spread the teeth around the gear, but you can't use it to make the tooth-defining steps in the image in Post 4. A Polar Array makes rotational copies around a common rotation base point, but what's needed is copies shifted over and then each rotated around a base point likewise shifted over, with each successive one shifted farther than the previous one. That's what the guide they linked to is describing, and what the code in Post 5 does. [And if I do say so myself, I think it's pretty cool to watch it do its thing!]
