Number of Grooves	Select the number of grooves (up to ten)
Dist. to First Groove	Enter the distance from the left edge of the pulley to the center of the groove (the first groove for multiple-groove pulleys)
Distance Between Grooves	For multiple-groove pulleys, enter the distance between grooves
Face Width	For multiple-groove pulleys, this value is automatically calculated; for single-groove pulleys, enter the face width
Draw Recess	Select Draw Recess to draw a recessed web, and specify the 2D parameters
Web Thickness	Enter the web thickness
Recess Diameter	Enter the recess diameter
Recess Corner Radius	Specify the recess corner radius
Recess Fillet Radius	Specify the recess fillet radius
Draw Hub	Select to include a hub and then specify the 2D parameters
Hub Diameter	Enter the hub diameter
Hub Projection (Left / Right)	Specify the amount of projection for the hub on both the left and the right; a negative value indicates that the hub face is recessed
Hub Corner Radius	Enter the hub corner radius
Hub Fillet Radius	Enter the hub fillet radius
Draw Bore	Select to draw a bore and then specify the 2D parameters
Bore Diameter	Enter the bore diameter
