BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Greetings,

I am trying to create a full size printout to lay out my tubes on for markup.

I make only the frame itself visable and export to a pdf. When I open the PDF the dimension is 46" wide which is too big for the local rint shop max of 36".

I have tried it with and without a title box and setting the free space in the box down to a couple of mm, tried the 3 available aspect ratios, but it still generates a 46" wide pdf. I really don't want to tile 36" pages to print a lot of white space.

Help!

Hello Brent,

I've updated my PC to Windows 10. Now when I try to launch BikeCAD Pro 12.5 I get the following message 'Can't extract configuration files'

I'm selecting Java Platform SE Binary to open it with.

Any ideas?

Cheers, John

Hi,

I would likt to export the svg but withe the auxiliary view for the Says, But it always focuses on the Frame an the chainstays will not be exported. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks Patrick

Good evening all,

Im pretty much brand new to cycle design and frame building, and having BikeCAD Pro to visualise my idea prior to cutting anything is brilliant. Im finding the software largely very intuitive, but have a pretty noob question all the same.

Im sure theres something glaringly obvious that im missing but it's late and the ol grey matter isnt firing on all cylinders.

Please I need some help.

I'm trying to fix the chainline offset as I'm designing a frame using Shimano Alfine 11 DI2 (SG-S705) and the Gates Carbon Drive.

I'm having a 12mm issue on the chain line.

So far I've got able to draw a assymetric chainstay to go around the belt avoiding a chainstay coupler and enabling larger tire clearance.

Is there anyway to change the configuration file location so I can have it stored online, so my laptop can see the latest parts I have created, without the need to copy them over all the time?

What is the best way to simulate the Columbus Aero Megatube.

It has a 51x32 cross section.

I know under tubing tab there is an "Aero" selection under the downtube, and I assume "chord length" is the depth of the tube, but what is "leading edge offset"?

I have just gone to install the recent upgrade to 12.5 on my recently upgraded to Win 10 machine.

It comes up and shows the install screen, and Part 1 of 4, but doesn't progress past that. On Windows 7 you could right click and 'Run as Admin' when it got stuck here,but no option exits on Win 10, that I have yet found.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris
