BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

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.

I have recently purchased BikeCAD Pro and none of the templates will open, what am I doing wrong

Hello,
I'm thinking of using Columbus Max or Mini Max on the next frame I build. Has anyone used the BikeCAD miter templates with an elliptical tubeset like Max? If so, how well did that work?

I've contacted Brent and he mentioned that I can't currently put both vertical and horizontal dimensions in for an elliptical tube in BikeCAD. However, he did mention that the horizontal dimension isn't really as critical as the vertical dimension regarding the miter template. I'm afraid I don't really understand why that is.

Thanks for the help in advance!

I am new to this so please indulge me.On the DT BB mitre there is the extension that represents the seat tube. How does one use this mitre? I assumed that small intrusion of the seat needs to be cut out of the downtube. I also assume the vaguely diamond shape part of the miter template that sticks out one end is not cut out.
