Gear Teeth Profile Creation Suggestions

[UKIDIOT]

Is there an easy way to make an involute curve for a gear tooth? I am having one heck of a time figuring out formulas for a gear tooth in metric. Does anyone have the formulas in a file that they could send me? Also whats the easiest way to create this in UG NX2?

Thanks for the help.

I'd probably grab Machinery's Handbook, and create a sketch to define the gear tooth profile. There may be a grip out there that would do it for you too, or a "part family" part.
