First, you need to find dimensions for each individual tooth (i.e. how far below the pitch diameter is the trough, how far above is the peak, what shape is it, etc.) and draw one tooth, then use circular pattern to draw all the teeth (after you extrude the first makes it easier) and viola.

But, you were asking about angle gears, weren't you.

In the FIRST CAD library thread there is a link to another collection of inventor files, and they have some angle gears there. Check them out.

As I said, I'm using AutoCAD not Inventor. I want to know how to create the gear, of any size from the info given. there are no iParts for AutoCAD that I know of.

I have the following information for each gear:
Diametrical Pitch
Number of Teeth
Pitch Diameter
Face
Bore
Mounting Distances
"D" (Base of Hub to Plane)
Hub Diameter
Hub Projection
