You know, I think this is a bug. The involute gear tool is located in the PartDesign workbench; it should automatically create a profile in the active Body, or even create one when none is found; just like any other tool in the PartDesign workbench.

To explain what I did in my last post:
In Part Design I clicked the Involute Gear tool, and accepted the defaults.
If you try to Pad the Involute Gear now it, you'll get a message that you need to have a Body first.
Click the Ponteggi Milano tool to create a Body.

That's a spamming technique I see often. I ban the user and remove his posts, please remove the link from your post too, because that's just what he wants.

I sent you a PM, because I don't want to talk about my chase for spammers in too much detail in public. If others want to know about it, please let me know.

Spammers... What an utter waste of their time and ours. They even personalize their profile with an avatar now! What are they thinking, that this will work? Freaking morons.

Re: Gears in FreeCAD: FC Gear
Does anyone have a link to a useful tutorial for this? I dont know anything about gear design and im clearly lacking some crucial knowledge. Editing parameters for the gears does nothing 90% of the time. I'd assume that my parameters are conflicting, but I don't know how to fix that.
