Using the Spur Gears featurescript

andy_grove

I need to create my own spur gears for a project and I saw the new spur gear generator featurescript and it looks like what I need but I am having trouble understanding where to start. When I "use" this featurescript it gives me a sketch with multiple gears but I just want two. Am I supposed to start with a new sketch and add the gears I need or am I just supposed to edit the provided sketch?

take a look at the pdf of the public document tied to that FeatureScript: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/5742c8cde4b06c68b362d748/v/c65839fc6078faeb4d2aece1/e/5e653835ca09dd3451bd9e3b

Essentially, in a sketch you create a point where you want the center of the gear to go. From there you exit the sketch and use the spur gear FeatureScript to generate the spur gear based on the input you give it.

I am would like to make a helical gear using the helical gear feature in this feature script. Is the module which I must input for a helical gear the transverse module, just like it is when making a regular spur gear, or should I be inputing the normal module instead?

Normal module.
