Personally I would use ProCAD+ on RISC OS for something like that. (Screenshot from the Windows version but, has some problems with newer versions of Windows.) Works nicely with Artworks.

Very easy and just need to draw circle and single tooth for the gear. Set reference point for the tooth to middle of the circle and use multiple copy, quantity 8 and object centre, click OK and the result will be perfect.
