    Gears Module not allowing pitch change when in diametral pitch mode

    I have been trying to use the gear module with no success. The software seems to be locked
    to a diametral pitch of "8" and will not allow me to change it. I can change the pressure angle
    and number of teeth but thats it. If I switch to module units I can change the pitch of the gear
    but when I switch back to "Diametral" the pitch is locked to the diametral equivalent of the pitch
    I set when in "Module" mode. This seems to me to be a problem in the software.

    Quite a number of views w/ no reply! Have you sent a note over to the UK support side as well as the US side of Dolphin? I hope you get your answer? CG.

    Hello,

    My apologies - I did see this but forgot to reply, there does seem to be a problem when you enter the diametral pitch, there is work around that you can use right now while we get this fixed.

    You can enter the module with this formula - Divide 25.4 by the Diamteral Pitch

    Hope this helps.
