BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

I would like to know the height and distance of the rear axle relative to the BB center in a coordinate system where the frame is rotated so that the head tube is perpendicular to the ground. I think this is JFX and JFY. Can you confirm?

I apologize if this is basic or has been covered...

Is there a way to save which dimensions one has checked?

I use one set of dimensions for frame design (Effective TT, Actual Chainstay Length, etc), and another set of dimensions for building (HT Bottom X/Y, Horiztonal Chainstay Length, etc.). It would be awesome if I could save which dimensions are checked in those two states, and then flip back and forth between them, without having to find and check/uncheck each individual measurement.

Let me know if this doesn't make sense!

Thanks!

Hello Brent,

is there any way to lock only the main triangle, while change any other parameters on the frame?

Thanks,

1. The only way I have figured out on how to raise both the aeropads and extensions at the same time to a TT bike is to change the stem angle. But many super bikes allow riders to add spacers to below the proprietary stem head, in effect raising the entire aerobar complex without changing the stem angle (which for many of the TT bikes you cannot do). I tried adding spacers to below the head set but it had no effect on the height of the aerobars. I know how to raise the aeropads independently but the extensions stay where they are which is not what I am trying to depict.

Hi *,

I want to build a long john cargo bike.

There are designs in the archive - but I don't know how to create or maintain additional tubes which are not between the preset tubes in the drop down menue for additional tubes.

In case anyone could describe it I would be very delighted!

Cheers,

Alex

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to get a laptop to use almost exclusively for BikeCAD pro and was wondering if anyone knows what the best specs a PC should have for it to run properly are?

Thanks very much

I am having trouble reverse engineering some pre "s" bents seat stays that I bought. Is there a video that explains what dimensions B, R, D and r, are? Thank you for your help.

Sometimes when I change the angle of a tube or a specific dimension that changes a tube position I get a residual image of the tubes prior location. I cannot make that previous tube image disappear. I am seeing the new position of the tube and the old postition simultaneously.

Any ideas on how to remove residual tube images?

I upgraded to 12.5 and now cannot find the steering geometry check box . I used it before...

it seems to be missing from the dimension list.

Thanks

Brent,

Attempting to install v13.0 I'm getting this 'Error Invoking Method' error.

It has now also stopped my 12.5 installation, for when I try and open that I get the same error message.

I've tried updating Java, and re-installing BikeCAD, but still getting the error.
