I reverted to v0.20.1 and it works normally.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Rainer

Hi papyblaise,

Sorry ...

Hi and thanks, Maybe I did not express myself correctly. Repositioning of the gear is possible while I am in the Timing gear. In the moment I drag the gear into body and add a sketch it goes back to the XY plane ... I can manipulate the gear while it is in the XY plane which means I can add holes to...

Hi, When I make a gear it always sits on the XY plane. How can I change its orientation and put it on the XZ or the YZ plane ?

Is there a different way to b...
