I have created two bevel gears using GC Toolkits, one is of 23 teeth and the other with 57 teeth, the Module is of 3 mm and Face width of 20 mm then saved them in separate file. Now I want to mount them properly in an assembly. But in gears there is no tooth point or pitch diameter surface with which I can constraint them.
So what is the way to properly mount the gears generated by the GC Toolkits?
