BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Hi Brent,

Probably a simple question for you. I recently bought a 17" laptop, running XP, so I can take BikeCAD Pro on the road with me. I bought XP because of another program that only runs on XP. Anyway, all programs run in the correct aspect ratio, except BikeCAD. It's stretched out a bit. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks, Neil

Hi - I would like to be able to print the chainstays at 1:1, which will fit on a long A4 page. Is there some way to get them squared up to the page so they don't need to be rotated after exporting a pdf? What about a view with only the stays on the page? That would be great! Not only for printing, but for designing them it would be nice to just see the stays.

I need to show a design with cantilever brakes showing, and having disc tabs but w/o the actual disc brakes/calipers/rotors visible.

Right now when I turn on any brakes it shows the bike with both Canti's and disc not either or.

Currently I am not showing any actual brakes just the Canti studs and the disc tab.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and awesome program keep it up!

Hello i install the new version and now i can't use it

BikeCAD Pro stop working and crash. The BikeCAD online version works without any problem.

I'm using windows 7 and the last java version

Hey guys, I just got the pro version just to realise that I can't really do much with it as compared to the free version. I have to add that I own a solidworks software and I have been using that for all my frame designs for the past few months. I was getting fed up with solidworks over angle manipulation problem so I thought I should give BikeCAD Pro a go. after downloading the latest version I notice very few differences to the free version which is of any good to me.

I just installed version 10 and when I try to open it I get a message that it is damaged and can't be opened. Any advice?

Thanks,

MC

Hi Brent,

I have two questions:

1) how can i change the lengthof the "down tube" of a standard bike frame?

I can only change the "Seat tube length" or "top tube length"

2) how is it possible to create my own bike frame, not using your standard "diamond frame" ?

i cannot find this function, is that not possibel ?

Many thanks for your clarification,

Thanks,

danack

I'm just starting to use v10 and can't figure out how to turn of display of the cranks, chain and cassette in the Auxilliary Chain Stay view.

Where can I find the option?

Thanks,
