•Pulley Radius(R): Enters the radius of pulley.
•Dedendum Radius(Rd): Enters the dedendum circle radius of tooth profile.
•Base Radius(Rb): Enters the base circle radius of tooth profile.
•Pitch Radius(Rp): Enters the pitch circle radius of tooth profile.
•Addendum Radius(Ra): Enters the addendum circle radius of tooth profile.
•Profile
Figure 2 Profile dialog box
•X,Y,R: Points and radius.
•Add Row: Adds a row to the end of the table.
•Insert Row: Inserts a row where the cursor is and move the current and later rows down.
•Delete Row: Deletes the row where the cursor is and move the later rows up.
•Clear: Deletes all rows in the table.
•Draw: All data must be defined with respect to the link marker. You can move points graphically by using the mouse directly.

•Import: Imports the X, Y, and R data pairs from a CSV file or a MAT file or a text file. In the case of the text file, the usage of the comma, the tab, and the space can be the delimiter between the three columns in the file. And when using the Excel file, the user can select the Tab-delimited text file output option or the CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file output option to save the Excel file which can be imported.
•Export: Exports the X, Y, and R data pairs to a CSV file or a MAT file or a text file.
