    use your design library's toolbox and pick either the metric or inch folder, then powertrain components, gears and right click the type; hit create part and fill out the fields and "OK" to create it. We use this a lot to create and download the part into our CAM software to machine plastic gears and sprockets.

    GearTrax by Camnetics (http://camnetics.com/) is probably what you are looking for.
    Their gear making plug-ins for SolidWorks are just amazing.
