Registration pin
Posted: Sun Sep 20, 2020 4:52 am
Hi Art
Is there a way to include a registration pin (hole) in a gear? My situation is that I often ?stack? gears such as small pinions and if I don?t get near perfect alignment the stacked pinion is useless. If there was a pin ?hole? accurately located between the arbor hole and the tooth root, I could these two holes to accurately align the little gears.
Currently the only way I can see to do this is to export to Vectric and modify the pinion there, not the best.
