Hi, I need to draw a pattern like a gear but on an ellipse or a curve. Is it possible with Qcad Pro.
I show an example in the attached file. Of course in 2D.
Thanks

Sure, QCAD Pro provides all tools needed to design something like that.
As you can see without specs easily done in 2 to 3 minutes. With specs could be a different story - depending on the specs ...

Sure, in a nutshell ...
You will find in the Library a script for gears below default/Mechanics/Gears.
You can use "CrankWheel", tweak the parameter a bit to fit your needs.
Place it in Model_Space, if necessary clean it a bit and then scale it 1 in x and 0.4 in y direction. Alternative you could also use the projection tools for an Iso- or Dimetric etc projection.
