Does FreeCAD's gear wizard support both Diametral Pitch and Module gears now?

I still haven't been able to make a simple circle in FreeCAD. I keep looking
for the Alibre way of doing it which for my brain has always been close to
perfect. Never could use AutoCAD and I find Fusion360 confusing .
However the gear tool is quite nice in FreeCAD.
I'm still having some problem visualizing exactly how the gears turn to create
67:1. So I thought I'd blow a bunch of money on filament and print them. In
hindsight I should have expanded the pinion holes to 22mm since that's a
standard (cheap) bearing size.
Too late now. Just over 2 hours before the other 4 are done. I could make
some tubes that hold smaller diameter ones. Or just play with the motion
here first. See how it works and then decide if I want to use my module 1.0mm
cutters to make them out of metal.
Or just print ones with inset relief to hold 8x22x7 standard bearings.
