Gerotor

[EngJW]

How does one design a gerotor with Solidworks?

I have one in Autocad and tried to copy and paste it into a sketch, but Solidworks will not accept it. It was generated from a program so possibly it does not contain valid lines or curves.

Also, what do you use to design gear teeth? I have a program that was written for Autocad so the same problem might occur.

Thanks

Try to import the sketch through the standard DWG/DXF Import. File -> Open -> In the Files type list box select the DWG or DXF and follow the import wizard options. (Maybe better should be to use the DXF format).

Thanks, that worked exactly as you said.
