Attached are the files to support the gear creation macro included with
SmartCAM Advanced Wire EDM. This macro can be transplanted to the milling,
fabrication and turning products.

1. Unzip the attached file.

2. Copy the file "Gear.mcl" into the SmartCAM "Shared\Sysmcl\" folder.

3. Copy the file "Awuser.pcb" into the SmartCAM "Shared\" folder.

4 .Open your application ini file for your particular application
  (i.e. pmill.ini, amill.ini, ffm.ini, etc...).

5. In the application ini file, find the section labeled "[PcbPaths]"

6. In the PcbPaths section, find the label "usrelmt"

7. Edit the file name and path for usrelmt for "AWUSER.PCB".
   (i.e. usrelmt=C:\SM9\SHARED\AWUSER.PCB)

If SmartCAM is running, you will need to close and restart the application
before the change is active. The Gear function can be accessed through the
"Create--User Elmts--Gear" menu selections. 

I've included the documentation for the gear macro from the Advanced Wire
EDM help in both Word 6 and plain text formats.

So would I!  I have used TwinCAD; website http://www.twincad.com.
It has a macro "invgear" which you type into the command line.  You are 
then prompted for the details and it then draws the gear.  It can then be 
transferred to SmartCAM.
