MKKCAD Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hi wasim khan, With regards to your query above - I am not entirely sure what you are trying to do. If you are trying to draw a plan view of a gear with teeth - I would suggest the best way to do this is: 01 - to draw the circle of your gear 02 - create a block of one of the teeth butting onto the circle 03 - divide the circle by this block by the number of teeth you require. This will automaitcally create the teeth for you around the circle you originally created. To do this enter DIV into the command prompt, then select original circle, hit enter, then type 'b' for block and hit enter again, then enter the name of your block you created for the teeth and hit enter, align objects with object - yes, then enter the number of teeth you require. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZ Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) i want to draw helical gear in autocad 2010. any one tell me how to draw helical gear tooth frofile in autocad. wasim khan, perhaps you could use an array. Draw the helix, then draw one tooth at start position. Use ARRAY command, PATH option and select the helix that you need the teeth to run along. You'll probably get more help if you start a new thread with your questions. Edited July 10, 2012 by SLW210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 wasim khan, Please do not post questions in another thread unrelated to your questions, start a new thread in the appropriate forum. I created a new thread in the AutoCAD Beginners' Area forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Is this for 2D or 3D? Is this just for show or for manufacture? If you are a student you can download Autodesk Inventor for FREE 3-yr student learning license. There is a gear generator in Inventor that makes this much easier.
