GearHeads Corner

Could be simply because it is not responding like my CAD but I have difficulty rotating, doesn't seem to rotate as I would expect and goes out of kilter easily.
Believe the cad rotates around the very point the cursor is at when rotation starts.

I know, great explanation, got to be a big help :D

Ken:

Do you mean when your moving a gear...or simulating?

Can you describe what your doing.. the gears really should
never get out of sync, if they do its a bug. Id like to know how
to reproduce it if I can.

  If its complex to explain because its a project, post it here and describe how I
can see the effect of which you speak. Ill fix is up if I can..  :)

Thx

Art,
I look at it again with an eye on better describing it, my internet connection is come and go, has been for several days so it may be tomorrow.

Thanks
Ken

Art,
The rotation seems as expected when there is a gear showing, it was in the 2D mode that it seemed quirky but can't really put any explanation to it.


On another point,
when creating a helical gear it generates a gear but a straight spur gear even though helical is selected, overlooking something but can't see what.

Found the problem, didn't have the wheel angle set, duh!

Ken:

:), thx, Ill add a warning when a zero degree helical is requested. Ive done that myself before..
