    please, help to generate teeth :)

    hello, i need to generate a cutting edge ...

    edge is simple, a 60degree triangle, 1 mm height ... after that i copy - paste to obtain rest of the teeth

    how is it possible to change base dimensions, and all teeth to autoupdate ? so to obtain fast all teeth for 60degree*2mm height, or 45degrees*1mm height ? kindly !

    Use an array or pattern of teeth.

    Depends on software you are using for example in Fusion360 very simple you change original triangle dimensions and the copies will update automatically. Without knowing which software you use can't see how anyone will be able to advise, but even so it's very simple to create so don't see what the problem is your just scaling a drawing in a way that almost every package can do.

    Sketch and dimension one tooth, then extrude it. Now pattern that tooth feature (not in the sketch) as many times as you need. Feature patterns are generally easier to work with than sketch patterns.

    i would suggest a secretary

    Use an array or pattern of teeth.
    hello, i had some issues with distance between them, i wish it to auto-update ... so i select " show dimension x spacing ", after that i delete dimension value, and i put some constrains ... well, it worked

    that's fast enough ... kindly !
