Dear FreeCAD Forum,
I want to design a clutch mechanism like the one shown in the picture.
What would be the best approach? I'd like to do this with parameters and patterns rather than drawing a sketch and constraining all angles and lenghts of the individual teeth.
Thanks for your help in advance!
