Creating rack gear to match spur gears - actual part, not mate relation

I've created a small spur gear train using "Spur Gear FeatureScript - Official V10..." I'd like to create a rack gear to drive this gear train. I want to model the actual rack part to be 3D printed, not simply mate it in the 3D assembly. Is there a Feature that can create a rack gear to match the tooth profile created in the Spur Gear feature, or one that I can at least use to create a rack with manually-input tooth parameters? Every method I've seen to create a rack uses flat faced tooth profiles. I want an actual gear tooth profile to match my spur gears.
