Animating Gears & Gradient Fill

[jamesmc]

James, pulling the x3d file into pro after straightening the angles out by hand as good as my eyes can I see that the center circle is not dead center.
As far as the rectangle being chewed away - now that is really strange!

Hmmm,

Drifter should the center match the handles on the sides? Take a look at this kloned ellispe and where the horizontal line points compared to yours.
