I need to create some spur gears and a rack gear with accurate tool profiles. MITCALC generates a dxf which I can copy and paste into a solidworks sketch, however, the sketch consists of thousands of line segments. I would like to convert them into a continuous spline or polyline either in Solidworks or Draftsight.
Can anyone tell me if and how this can be done?
Thanks
I think you can use pedit option in DS or fit spline in SW.
BTW why don't you remove the other teeth and keep just one and then do a feature pattern in SW. You can edit the DXF in DS itself.
