ok so at the end of each years season we ask the students what went good and what we could do better on. this year one of the things that they want to do better on is to use CAD software to help in the design and testing of the robot, not just as a way of getting a general layout of shapes, or CAMing out the few parts we do have machined.

for the past few years we have used the included mastercam Gear dll to make easy gears for the mill( it comes up with a wizard we fill in teeth and pitch and presto a gear). what I was wondering is how to make those gears in solid works, exactly as they appear in masterCAM.

if yall could steer me in the direction of a tutorial or a walk through that would help out alot.

I say solidworks because the team has a boat load of full licenses
