Granted, meshing gears is awful. You have to place the gears on axles with space
between them, rotate one with hinge tool until they could match, then move the
rotated gear and axle in meshing position. And trying to modify a gear ration in
an already done model is even worse.

I'll have to retry that, my experience was not that bad. Maybe I was lucky.
That said... my preferred CAD tool for Technic remains LeoCAD !!!

Strange, it works for me... oh well... some browser problem... Sorry for the
inconvenience.
