I would think the configured settings could be sent to a precision gear machinist or one could pick settings which would be a "standard" gear configuration, thus one could use these models for manufacturing purposes. Am I way off here? Does Solidworks let you pick standard settings and not display accurate results? Thanks ahead of time for your help! Greetings,

I just had two questions: 1. Where in the toolbox did you find the rack and pinion. I am running SW2009 premium and was unable to find it. 2. Is there a way to constrain the rack so that only the pinion moves? Great tutorial.

I just had two questions:

1. Where in the toolbox did you find the rack and pinion. I am running SW2009 premium and was unable to find it.

2. Is there a way to constrain the rack so that only the pinion moves?

Didn't know about tool-box. I have a question though : I'm trying to make a rack/pinion mate where the pinion stays still (no rotation, no translation of any kind) and the rack is rolling on it. It seems not to work properly. The rack is not moving as it should, despite the fact I properly defined the mechanical constraints. Tangency is OK but the rolling is completly out of normal. Did I make a mistake? Is there a specific way to define this kind of movement? Thanks! Bye! Hello
