wow, okay - it was many fusion versions ago when I wrote that. I'll have a look.

They've changed the add-ins API pretty much it seems. It still runs but it generates some overlapping geometry at the gear tooth tips that has to be removed manually. Install: downloading the zip-file from github. extract all. move subfolder "WeirdGears" to "%appdata%/Autodesk/Autodesk Fusion 360/API/AddIns/" restart Fusion 360 run add-in "WeirdGears" from the add-in menu. you will see a note about where the tool has been placed. find it in the create menu and click it. click ok in the parameter dialog. take a coffee. expand sketches. remove crossing points. extrude.
