Is it possible to add a feature to the sprocket design module so I can key in values such as pitch, roller diameter etc? At the moment British standard roller chain like 04B-1 is not supported and I need to create sprocket for this size chain. (http://challengept.com/brochures/chain/roller_chain.pdf)

I also have a problem with viewing all the info. It's not possible to scroll or extend the window further so I can view all the sprocket parameters. Screenshot attached.

TIA,

Michael

  Ill look into it and see what I can do.

Art, not rush - I used the cage gear functionality to design the sprocket. Set the pins to the size of the roller and calculated the module by dividing chain pitch with Pi.

Hi Michael:

If you download the latest version, youll find I moved the sprocket data upwards so you can see it all, and I also added
all the British Chain entries as well.

Thx
