Ok, this is possible.

First, you need to find dimensions for each individual tooth (i.e. how far below the pitch diameter is the trough, how far above is the peak, what shape is it, etc.) and draw one tooth, then use circular pattern to draw all the teeth (after you extrude the first makes it easier) and viola.

But, you were asking about angle gears, weren't you.

In the FIRST CAD library thread there is a link to another collection of inventor files, and they have some angle gears there. Check them out.
