Is it possible to generate nautilus gears with Gearotica?

Hi,
I have cut the kind of gear you are referring to, using GM. They are easy enough to design but cutting them so they mesh nicely is more difficult. As this photo shows the "flat" is actually toothed and that complicates things. I'm pretty sure I recall Art saying that he hoped to improve them in GT.

Hi:
Thats basically a modified coefficient of about 6 in the GTA gears. GM does have trouble toothing them on the flat section, though they can be cleaned up in cad,
but GT should be able to do them when the new GTA is done. GTA is the next module after next weeks release of the AutoTrain ratioing module.

Thx
Art
