Bad involute shape on 0.5mod small gears 16T

Hi Guys,
Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this tooth shape problem I'm having.
I'm remaking some gears in my motorcycl
e odometer, the lager gears are fine but the 16T 0.5Mod tooth shape is incorrect
.
Was there some way to increase the points calculate
d in the tooth shape? I seem to remember there was but can't find the answer at the moment.
Cheers,
Phil

Stand down, It's all good now
After redefinin
g my search terms here on the forum, I found the answer.
Point Distance
Changed it in the settings and problem solved.
Cheers,
Phil

Hi Phil:
Glad you found it. I will be settng about making it fairly automatic in the next developme
nt cycle. I can see this happens far
too often so Ill be setting it automatic as a term of tooth form size I think, so that more inexperie
nced users wont have this happen
to them. This problem is a holdback from a period when some cam programs were choking from too many data points.
Thanks

PS: An odometer, eh? cool...
