What it does
Gear Wizard creates a gear part from standard values (number of teeth, module, thickness), with a 2D preview.
Where to find it

| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Spur Gear | Spur / Rack / Internal / Helical / Worm / Bevel |
| Number of Teeth | 20 | 3–400 (Rack: Teeth along length) |
| Module (size) | 1.5 mm | Tooth size |
| Thickness | 6 mm | Thickness |
| Bore Ø (0 = none) | 0 | Shaft bore (Spur, Helical, Bevel, Worm) |

Note: In an assembly, use a Gear Mate so the gears turn together. The ratio is calculated from the pitch radius (Module × number of teeth ÷ 2).
