I am modeling a part with a male involute spline. Instead of actually modeling each tooth, I want to be able to show a representation of the spline on the drawing (similar to threads), and I will just call out the pitch diameter, addendum, dedendum, diametral pitch, and number of teeth. What is the right way to do this? My model shows a right circular cylinder with a diameter equal to the addendum of the spline. Should I just sketck two more circles representing the pitch diameter and dedendum, then dimension those on the drawing, or is there a more sophisticated way, like created a cosmetic feature?
