Ratchets, escapements and 4th axis

[David]

Hi Art
When I try to generate a 4th axis on a ratchet or escapement, no matter what is selected I get a message saying no gear data.
Am I missing something.
Have you made any progress with the unidirectional cutting especially for pinions?
Like the new 4th axis simulator

Hi David:

Ratchets cannot be done on 4th axis, th elist is all gears which have tooth profiles in the their DXF's may be done, this include evolutes, epicycloidics, and pulleys , sprockets..

No other types can be done in 4th axis as yet.
