Anyone done sprockets in fusion360?

I need to take a design I have in fusion, which includes a cam area, and make a sprocket format on its outside edge for 420 chain around the radius of that cam mechanism to unfurl it out. (Typical bike chain). The original plan was steel cable and to groove it, however chain ended up with some benefits so here we are.

Cheers,

I have not made a sprocket in Fusion 360 but the geometry is pretty straight forward:

A trick I use when I am being a lazy designer is to just use the geometry provided by McMaster:

Frank Lima with the practical win here. I was going to suggest grabcad, but McMaster is even better and beyond.
