Fusion 360 for Makers, 2nd Edition

Add Fusion’s Spur Gear Tool

Choose Add-Ins→Scripts And Add-Ins (Figure

L

). Click on the

Add-Ins tab and then click on SpurGear. You’ll notice there are

two entries for it; they’re just different code languages, and

for our purposes, either is fine. Click one and the message

in Figure

M

will appear. “Model” workspace is a legacy term;

find the Spur Gear tool in the Solid/Create workspace. When

you click on it, the dialog box will appear (Figure

N

). Use the

defaults or enter your own figures. Know that the entries don’t

create a parametric gear. After you click OK, you’ll have a

component gear.
