15.3. -Add the gear's profile sketch in the "Front Plane" at the left side of the "Gear

Width" sketch. Use the "Dynamic Mirror" command to maintain symmetry. When

finished, exit the sketch and rename it "Thread Profile."

15.4. - In the plane located at the left of the "Gear Width" sketch, add a new sketch;

use the "Convert Entities" drop down icon to select "Intersection Curve." This

command will create sketch entities at the intersection of the selected surface(s)

and the current sketch plane. This tool is particularly useful when we have irregular

surfaces intersecting the sketch plane. In this case it works the same as "Convert

Entities," but this is the best option when we need to obtain a surface's profile that

intersects the sketch plane.
