im trying to make this part and i cant figure out how to make the teeth/splines. someone please help, im a new fusion user and havent done cad in years.
how to make teeth on a surface?
You need to start a new thread! I created a quick video showing the creation and use of three User Driven parameters.

so in my model I swept a solid, scaling the profile down using a path and rail. valley and peak angle of the resulting solid will be extremely close to the angle of the profile at high tooth counts. probably closes enough, but maybe not. if you need to nail the valley angle, the process would be much the same, but instead of doing a scaled sweep the way I've done, you would so a sweep along a path that defines the peak line with no scaling. (or a sweep cut defined by the valley line)
I suggest exploring the provided model a bit and understanding what was done before moving on.
in sketch 2, the angle of the peak is being driven by the height of the tooth (the provided spec)-
you can change the .03 dimension to a driven one and then define an angle at the peak-
this angle is extremely close (particularly at high tooth counts) to the peak and valley angles-
study the model. ask questions.
scratch the "extremely close" bit. I was measuring the angle the wrong way. the angle of the peaks and valleys is equal to the angle given to the triangle in sketch 2-
