How To Make Simple Gear

Hello... We meet again, after posting about Text, now I want to learn about how to make simple gear. This is also the basic one I've learned. Let's get started...

To create a gear We'll need three objects, first, draw two circles and a rectangle. The first circle should be bigger than the second circle. Use Ctrl key to aim the proportional round for the the circle. It will have same width and height.After that create the rectangle, not to big, the important is the height is longer than the diameter of the big circle. When You're done, You will have three objects like these.

Move the three object based on thier center. Drag the mouse in center of each object than the cursor will autonatically snap to object's center point. Or You can select all object then press C+E, these will align objects according their center of vertical and horizontal. Sometimes this kind of shortcut key is very useful to safe time working. Now We'll need the gear tooth. Select the rectangle. Go to the Menu Bar - Arrange - Transformation - Rotate, or press Alt+F8, to show the Transformation Docker.
