The Bevel Gear tool and Bevel Gear - 3D tool share the same position on the tool set. Click and hold the mouse on the visible tool to open the Pop-out tools list and select the desired tool.
A bevel gear set consists of a gear and pinion.
To insert a bevel gear:
Click the tool and mode.
Click to place the object, and click again to set the rotation. The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default parameters. The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette.
Click to show/hide the parameters.Click to show/hide the parameters.
