DIN 5480 Involute Spline Go-Gage

I'm looking for a software package that can generate the CAD (.dxf) geometry for a plug Go-Gage for the hub N48x1.5x30x30x10H and a ring Go-Gage the shaft W48x1.5x30x30x9f. I believe the gage quality should be LQ 4 DIN 5480?

I've looked at the KleissGears, MITCalc and Hexagon WN2 software packages and they seem like they will all provide the desired spline profile. But I don't see where they provide the CAD geometry for go gages.

Having spent a small fortune on the DIN 5480 standard and a ton of time trying to figure out the correct geometry and tolerances, I would greatly appreicate any help.

I have never seen a go no-go guage for
splines. Interesting as the parameters
are so complex. Are you not interested
more in whether it will function as
required.
 
I really do not know if there is an interest in whether they will function as required? My guess is someone put a requirement for Go-Gages in the process plan for manufacturing transmission shafts/hubs that have cut splines.
I have read the DIN 5480 Part 15 and it describes the Go Gauges in length. I believe I have figured out how much tolerance to add to the gauge to check the spline but I'm confident.
 
I am curious if the go gages are simply
balls set at the proper dimensions or
are they the mirror images of the spline?
