I made a formula list in which PCD=Teeth*Module. So basically I am putting diameter. But when I am associating it with circle and putting the dimension, it is taking radius by default
Like PCD =40mm but while associating it is taking D80..Is there anything to change default radius to diameter.

First of all you need to change the dimension type from diameter to radius, to do so, double click on dimension and change the type as radius from diameter as shown in 2.jpg, and then apply the formula.

No. CATIA parameters only use Radius to define the size of circles and arcs.

For creating gears on CATIA, this app is far better and useful, try this one. SPADANTECHNIC GEAR APP. https://spadantechnicgearcatiaapp.software.informer.com/download/.

According to my experience it is good and free, you can customize the basic values and then generate the gear in few seconds.
