Spur Gear & Rack

[Scary99]

I am a student and just began working with gears. I have a problem that specifies a spur gear. I have selected the gear from the design center and now I need a rack to mate to it. Is there a component that will create the rack to match the gear I have selected or will I have to draw the rack from scratch?

You will have to model the Rack.

Fortunately it is very easy to model.

Attach your Spur Gear here for pitch reference if you have trouble modeling the Rack.
