BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Curious if there is a template for a spin bike... If not, how do I draw a front wheel drive...?

Hello

I'm still trying to get my head around BikeCAD Pro. Does anyone have a sample file they can share, that is based on a manufacturer's website?

Even if someone has five minutes to spare, I'd love the dimensions for:

www.giant-bicycles.com/au/cross-city-1-disc

entered into a sample file.

Any other advice would also be appreciated. Thanks Scott

Is it worth trying to fit a design for a foot-forward position step-through tandem (similar to Sun Brickell) in BikeCAD, or would I be better off using a general CAD program?

One big issue is that seat tubes connect directly to boom tube, and bottom brackets are placed independently along the boom tube (placing the seat tube behind the location of the BB and crank).

To make matters worse, I'll be adding couplers...

Thanks for any input,

How do we move the panel position in paint?

Hi Brent,

that's something that has annoyed me already for a long time but at some point enough is enough ;-))). Is there any way how I can change the size of the dialog boxes that appear when opening or saving a file or saving a file as a PDF. I would like them to be much bigger so each time I change their size and the view to the list with details view but the next time that box opens it has the small original size and sorting.

I've searched the forum and the FAQs (maybe not thoroughly enough) and I wonder why no one has ever posted that question before.

Thanks,

Hi Brent

I can't get Change color to apply to components in drawings I have created, it always applies to the background. I can get Change color to apply to components in drawings i have downloaded from the Design Archive and the MyBike.bcad drawing. What am I missing.

With thanks

Peter

Brent,

1. I cannot seem to save a design from the design archive to my hard drive and then open it to my desktop version of BikeCAD. All i see when I click on the link for save a BikeCAD design (the one located under the design illustration) is code. Am I suppose to copy this and save it to a file or something??

2. The wheel options for MTB do not seem to include 27.5 x 1.95++.

3. I ve noticed that the crank angle I set in a Bcad file never seems to stay even if i save the file. It always reverts back to 0 deg.

Cheers,

Patrick

Hi Brent,

I've just downloaded 13.5 and the screen resolution is very low when compared with the 12.5 I was usuing. Is there a way to change this?

Thanks.

Hi Brent,

Can you please help. I'm trying to update to BikeCAD Pro version 13.5 but keep getting three error boxes pop up one after the other. I'm completely stumped as to what I'm doing wrong. Please see attached images of the errors. I'd really appreciate any advice.

Thanks very much!

Hey Brent + Co.

I'm using BikeCAD (13.5 on OSX). I'm running into strange behaviors when trying to use a dual monitor set-up.

1. "Constrain to single monitor" UNCHECKED
Open up any dimensions window.
Move dimensions window to my 2nd monitor.
Click on bike drawing (primary monitor)
Click back on dimensions.
Dimensions window flips back to my primary monitor.
