I hate to be picky, but the teeth aren't quite right. They should be involute profiles. Then they'll actually mesh with other gears : ) (23 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

There's a DAT2DXF converter I have. Its a bit slow for larger models, but for your application it should work just fine. Let me know if you want it -Orion (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)
