I don't have an example in front of me so my description might be a little off but -
Near the top of the browser there is something like Imported and probably a + symbol. Click on the + to expand. Then you will probably see something like an Excel spreadsheet icon. Right click on that and select table.
or
There will be a list of different "configurations" double click on any one to make it active.
or
Do place component in an assembly file and pick the gear file and it should come up with a list of teeth number, pitch or something like that.
or
Start a new part file and exit sketch.
Select Derived Component and the gear file.
Checkmark Scale and put in your scale factor.
I strongly suggest NOT using this method though as you are changing the proper geometry for that gear.
or
While in your assembly click on the down arrow next to the words Assembly Panel and select Design Accelerator and then Gears. Enter your gear specs and Inventor will build one for you.
or
Come back here and let me know if you would like a step-by-step procedure to create your own gear from scratch and I'll see if I can find the document.
Try one of the other options first.
