Gear Tool

The Gear tool constrains two objects so one of the objects rotates in response to the rotation of the other object. Gear conditions can be created between two cylinders, two cones, a cylinder and a plane, or a cone and a plane.

See the Assembly Constraints Reference Chart for descriptions of all assembly constraints.

Note: The Gear tool is enabled when you select appropriate objects that belong to different components.
