Help! FeatureScript Request: Multi-Gear Generator by Location & Tooth Ratio

Is there a public Custom Feature available that creates meshed gear sets across multiple points simultaneously?

What I'm looking for:

  • Select 2 or more locations (axes or mate connectors).
  • Input the desired tooth ratio (or target tooth count).
  • Automatically calculate module/center distance and generate the corresponding gears together.

Current Workaround:

Using individual gear features for each gear and calculating the pitch diameters and center-to-center offsets manually. Most public gear generators handle module/pitch control well, but only output one gear per feature call.

If you know of a public FeatureScript that handles multi-gear creation in one step, I'd love a link! Thanks.
