I would like to design an escape wheel for a wooden gear clock with Bobcad. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I dont really know what that is, but I googled it and saw a couple different shapes.. This video should get you going. It will show you how to make a radial array of a specific shape at a given value..
Clock Sprocket - YouTube
I also used the sprocket command and then changed the point shape a couple different ways I saw in pictures...
How do Pinhead.
Design your escapement wheel around a proper clock pendulum pallet escapment and use that as the escapment.
I've heard that wooden ones don't work so well as humidity temperatures make the clock stop.
As for the wheel itself....take a photograph of one without the shaft if possible? then import it into a program that can convert the photo to a vector,save then import into bobcad.
You should be able to then alter the size to suit.
Hey thanks for the input!!!:cheers:
Or try this, I believe it will output HPGL
