Start again. If you scale the gears you will most likely end up with non standard tooth sizes. Gear selection normally runs: Tooth size required for power to be transmitted - what module or DP to use Ratio desired Limitations that set the number of teeth in the smaller gear OD modification to...

There is a trailing zero setting. The hole positions, being round numbers, automatically hide the trailing zeros (ISO Metric std), while the hole diameter is shown to the default 2 decimal places.

Are you looking for accurate gears or "eye candy" gears? Alibrescript has a few gear functions which seem to be reasonably accurate. Utilities for Alibre by David Bolsover creates quite accurate gears (search for them here) I have a script that builds an eye candy tooth. I create the gear...

The drawing file should pop up a box on opening saying it can't find the model and giving you the option to "find" it for it. You may have to clean up or relink dimensions for each drawing though.

Copying them externally means you end up with different files with the same reference and to Alibre, they are...

You posted while I was still typing I think I know what it does but it definitely needs a "Getting Started" manual with detailed instructions on what it does, why we should use it, what the differences are and when to use one or the other, starting it, what NEEDS to be included and what is...

Mine scanned clean (as expected). What anti-virus are you using?

In reference to arc dimensions, if you are measuring a distance less than the radius of the arc, choose the inside option if you are measuring a distance greater than the radius of the arc, choose the outside option

Do you click the dimensioning button first and then move to the drawing view or do you click the drawing view first and then the button? My question is because I select the view and then the button, which restricts me to the selected view but if I click the button first then each view...

Yes, that's how I got it and work pays for it now. It was free until a few years back when the version I had was no longer be supported by windows, so we had to upgrade.

I use M-Files
