BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

I have downloaded and installed V12.0, but it only have the 4 generic dropouts that were in the previous releases.

Can you please give a download location for the new files for the paragon, and other drop outs?

Thanks,

Chris

I'm sure this has already been discussed, so apologies if it has. However, I'm looking for a way of adding braze-on cable guides. Is this part of the package, or as something not intergral to the structure of the frame, not included in the package?

Hi,

I did some design and saved it as SVB2015-01_LK.bcad (see attachment SVB2015-01_LK.png).

Next I saved the file as SVB2015-01_AO.bcad and did change some dimensions.

But I got an unexpected and undesired result. Please, see attachment SVB2015-01_AO.png

What I did wrong?

My system: Windows 8.1 64 bits, BikeCAD Pro 11.74, Java Version 8 Update 40 both 32 and 64 bits.

How do I set up the heatube for braze on integrated cups.

Like below, I know I can just use a standard measurements for overall length, but i was wondering if I could set it up to show the hidden piece of headtube inside the cups, and have the length tube showing and total length including part of tube inside?

Thanks in advance.

The .bcad file I am currently working on has mysteriously dissapeared. I saved the file every time before shutting down the program. The file still exists in the folder it is saved in, however, it won't open and the info box says there is 0 kb of data. Frustrated, as I am in the middle of the frame build and now don't have access to the design. Luckily I have the csv file of build specs, but I'm going to have to re-model my design if I want any visual reference. Not sure what happened, maybe someone has seen this before? I am running the linux version on a mac, 10.6.8.

hi, i can t instal BikeCAD pro, here what i have... could you help me?

Below i want show you my project over I work and can I create with this program, is it possible for future projects? Thanks,

Is there a way to show the "effective" seat tube angle?

When you have a curved seat tube, the seat tube angle that is shown is the angle of the straight part above the curve.

Currently, as far as I know, the only way to show what the effective ST angle is is by adding an angle in manualy.

I understand that this "effective" ST angle will change with things like saddle height, however for visualization it would be great.

The setup windows (for example, "Primary dimensions") always float above the bicycle design window. This window behavior makes it very difficult change dimensions and then visualize them in the design. Is there any way to change to standard OS X window behavior?
