Design Accelerator - Spur Gear tooth profile

Design Accelerator - Spur Gear tooth profile

It would be greatto have the ability within the 'Spur Gear Component Generator' window to specify whether you want simple representative teeth on the gears; current option, or to produce the correct involute tooth form. Now that we have the ability to produce printed gears and shafts easily for prototype purposes, having to export the tooth form and extrude and pattern it is a bit tiresome in this age of 3d printers on our desktops.

Great wish!

There are some additional problems with present action too. You only once can select desired tolerances for profile => it should be changable.

Also the output (report) of the calculation should have exact section with manufacturing data (according to ISO 134* and including applicaple standards) for drawing including all necessery markings, dimensions and tolerances (not more) => this section dta should have option to insert to drawing directly!

Simplified gear could also be great only including root, pitch and major diameter as sketch (no tooth shape at all!).

All these geometry outputs to same workflow.

It also needs to be "linked" to the model so that if we go back and edit the tooth form, the model will update.
