BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Hi folks

I wonder how i have to enter data in the tubing-size section in order to create a mitering template for tubing which is neither round nor oval, like for exeple some Columbus and Deda tubes.

Concretely i'm working on one of the Spirit top tubes which is kind of oval, but with a flat top and sides. The diameter is given as 31.7mm, dimensions are 33.5x28mm.

thanks in advance for your heip

I am designing a bike with seat stays that attach at the head tube. The program is giving me a standover to the top of the top tube, but this is below the seat stays. Is there any way to get a measurement to the highest point on the frame, i.e., to the top of the seat stays?

I'm wanting to use through-axles on my design (either 142x12 / 100x15mm or the latest Boost configuration), but I don't see it available anywhere.
Is there a way to do this? If not, is it planned to be added? If it's been addressed before, I couldn't find any info about it! :)

Thanks-Colin

I've adjusted the chain ring size to (46) and (30) for a double, however it appears there are chain rings on the non drive side of original (53/39) size. I'm sure there's an easy way to get rid of that but I can't seem to figure it out.

The second thing I'm having an issue with getting rid of are the original STI shifters. I've "included tektro brake levers" and I've changed the shifters to downtube but the original brifters have not seemed to go away.

Thanks in advance.

In a prior version of BikeCAD, I believe it was possible to alter the angle/shape of the top of the seat tube.

(I originally posted this in the free version on accident)

Hi, How I can include my own designs of dropouts and chainrings (like aero chainrings,...)?

I need to turn off the extra figures to the right of the bike. I dont need to see the wheels and feet veiw from the top

Thanks, mike

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
