Cylinder mock-ups of gears in Inventor?
Hi, I was trying to simply use cylinders instead of actual gears in Inventor to help save some time.

What I'm asking is how do I figure out the diameter of the cylinder to draw so that the cylinders would touch where the gears would normally mesh? Would I use the pitch diameter? Or something?

I kept searching around and kept getting different results and it's driving me crazy.

Thanks in advance for any help.
