Jul 21, 2006 #4 aardvarkdw Mechanical May 25, 2005 542 Are you asking how to draw a gear tooth or how to pattern? If you need to know how to draw an involute tooth profile that is tough to explain but if you just need to know how to pattern a feature that's easy. Upvote 0 Downvote

Jul 21, 2006 #6 aardvarkdw Mechanical May 25, 2005 542 It can be complicated to explain. Try this site for information about the parts of a gear and formulas for creating them. http://www.engineersedge.com/gear_menu.shtml Once you've looked at that you can either attempt to draw your own or there is a gear already drawn that you can download and modify here. http://www.cbliss.com/inventor/Parts.htm I make no garauntees as to the accuracy of charles's model but it should work.
