    • Point: Selects the gear center point.

    • Direction: Selects the center marker of gear body to Z axis based on the inertia reference frame. It becomes the rotation axis of gear body.

    • WithDialog: Displays the gear properties. For more information, refer to Geometric Entities.

  • Group or Body, Direction, WithDialog
