I have tried experimenting with the spur gear feature in inventor but I am unable to get it to work. Does anyone know of a guide for this or can anyone help?
It took me a while to get design accelerator working, but I might have some useful advice. First of all, accelerator only functions in assembly mode (as far as I know). Second, Inventors calculations may be the problem. I would suggest just accepting any conflicts it might have due to the calculations. I am sorry if I am diagnosing the obvious (I don't know how much inventor experience you have). If I haven't diagnosed your problem effectively, some clarification as to where you are getting caught up would be helpful.
