Create a spline

[Jeff the haas_guy]

I wonder if there is a menu to create a spline or gear in MCX6? I can't find one but that doesn't mean its not there.

[Greg Williams]

Do you mean Involute spline?

[Leigh @ Kodiak]

Try the Gear C-Hook and see if that will do what you are after.

Yes, involuted spline. Not sure how to do it.

Basically input the info. # of teeth, pressure angle and the diametrical pitch. That will automatically set your OD, Pitch dia.

I use it all the time, great feature for sure

The GEAR c-hook will give you the correct involutes, but the OD and ID have to be changed. If you send me the involute spline specs, I can give you the OD and ID. Basically, the tooth height is like a gear that has twice as many teeth (smaller addendum and dedendum). There are some delicate clearance issues too, so it helps to know the class of fit (and type of fit also).
