Hi,
I note it is stated that QCAD has no special design facility to draw clock wheels. There are other packages and the best todate I have found that will generate a cycloidal wheel is the Delph Electronics package. My question is whereas that package will generate the wheel can I import that wheel drawing and then add to it a deadbeat escapement or a recoil anchor?

No, but such things can be implemented by a script type library item.
If your good at math ... InvoluteSpur.js is an example file.
Yes, once all is merely a drawing one can copy/paste everything.
Don't count on us to invent the escapement.
Don't expect that QCAD will make it move.
