BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

First of all- thanks Brent!

Is it possible to bring your previously defined templates into the newer version.
I finally have it all my display and dimension templates dialed in, plus all the standard parts that I have created: Forks - stems - cranks - ect...
Can I simply copy my templates folder from the software data file from one to the next? Or do I risk loosing some new functionality?

I have a new monitor that is wider than my old one, 1024 x 768. When I open BikeCAD Pro 8.1 the entire screen is stretched out (left and right) and the bike is distorted. Any ideas? It makes it impossible to design.

thanks,

I would like to turn the paint off. How can I do that?

thanks Mike

I have a clean install of Mountain Lion on a new Mac and the program is acting real buggy. Wondering if anyone is experience anything similar.

The contents of the program window periodically go completely white. A surefire way of making this happen is by trying to change the BB drop.

I downloaded the version 7.11 and the problem still occurs.

Any thoughts?

I am not on pro yet, but wondering does the pro version allow for printing a full scale 1:1 drawing? If so, how much can one edit by adding box area and drawing notes/ callouts are allowed? My application is to use as a template on a flat jig with clear instructions on where to place jig for students/first time frame builders. Thanks!

I know that this question has been asked many times. But I forgot how to keep the wheels from being printed when I print out the bike frame. Is it a procedure or just a box I have to check when I output the design to the PDF file?

I may be imagining it but I thought there was a dimension showing the amount of seatpost inserted into the frame? I'm not sure if this was something lost in an update and I've missed it. I know it can be calculated from seatpost length and seatpost exposed but having the actual dimension would be handy

I am on version 8.0 if that makes any difference (is this the most up to date?)

Thanks

I am trying to build a cross bike with a upwardly sloping top tube, so how can I get that position set up so it starts about a foot and a half from the B.B.

thanks mikef

Once upon a time you could move the dimension measurement lines along the same plane as the dimension in question. I thought it was only the free version that lost this feature, but after I upgraded to the Pro, I still can't find the "move-it" slider bar. Is this feature gone for good, or am I missing the on/off toggle?

Is there anyway to have multiple BCAD files open in separate windows? I would like to compare the dimensions of two bikes I have created side by side. I'm using BikeCAD Pro 8.1 on an iMac.
