gear

I made a script for Alibre that generates mathematically accurate internal and external gears. Unlike the example script, it uses a true trochoid (undercut shape) and an involute profile. To keep things simple, the script creates (or replaces) a sketch and produces a single tooth. Additionally...

I have old Alibre 2011 expert and I have a problem. I need to make helical gear. 2D sketch is easy and I have tooth profile there. But my old alibre doesn't allow helical boss because it requires reference line. If it could use reference axis then it would be easy.

I'm not sure this is where this should go, but if not, hopefully the moderator will put it where is should be. There are 2 things I would like to see added to Alibre: 1. Add the ability to do gears. Frankly, I'm really surprised that this capability isn't there, but it's not. We should be able...

LS, For a school project i have to produce a simple demonstration pinion/gear combination. The used material wil be multiplex (lasered) . I am intending to use a 190mm diameter disk using the script from: http://www.britishideas.com/2013/04/25/involute-gears-in-alibre-design/ The question how...
