Re: Drawing Involute curves

I do realize how to draw the curve by hand with the string method. I was just wondering how you would go about doing it in inventor. I also considered the spline method the only thing is that I don't want to do it by hand. If I had a macro then It would be no sweat. I usually represent gears by doing a cylinder that is the diameter of the pitch circle. The jest of it was that I wanted to know how to draw them my self.
