Maybe I did not express myself correctly. Repositioning of the gear is possible while I am in the Timing gear. In the moment I drag the gear into body and add a sketch it goes back to the XY plane ...
Purely from a workflow point of view I would create the shafts for the gears to reside first and then using the modified files attached you can select the edges of the shaft (
only one Body in Part Design but multiple shafts if they are in Part/Draft) and it will create the gears in their orientation at the end of the shaft(s).
With FreeCAD closed, copy the _functions.py into C:\Users\
username\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Mod\fcgear\pygears folder and copy commands.py into C:\Users\
username\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Mod\fcgear\freecad\gears folder.
If you think it's worthwhile submitting the change to the author, let me know.
