BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Hello guys, how are you doing?

Today i want to ask how to connect the seatstays to the top tube sides, just so both get attached in a similar way to the commencal meta ht v2 (https://www.commencal.com/us/en/commencal-meta-ht-am-ohlins-ash-grey/22METAHTAMOH.html?lang=en_US).

I tried to mount the seat stays to the top tube using the seat stays popup, but look like they only get attached to the downside of the toptube, instead of the sides (drive and non-drive).

Thanks in advance guys!

I was delving deeper into the paint options and had an idea that would significantly improve my workflow. I "designed" a color and paint scheme and wanted to copy it to another frame drawing. The only solution I found was to note the parameters from the window and manually enter them into the other project. Then I thought, how cool would it be to have paint presets?! Does something like this already exist?

I'm not sure if this is (still) a feature request, but I got a streamdeck to help me remember how to do certain things in bikecad (I'm not great remembering icons only) and can only see "shortcuts" for a few top level options like file, view and help whereas I'd like to shortcut the things I often forget like how to see the stay clearance, etc.

Is there an API available or shortcut keys so I can program macros into my steam deck? I saw a request from years ago, but wasn't certain if I'd missed where or how these are implemented.

Several dropouts have hangers but aren't using them. Instead, the derailleur is mounted to the axle.

Affected:

• Allotec C23
• Allotec C49
• Allotec C64
• Artefact DR30
• Coast Cycles

Everything else appears to be correct. Went through every static drawing with a transparent derailluer to check. :)

Unless there's an option I'm missing? But then it'd be odd that others are auto detected.

In my opinion, the big selling point of offers such as bikefitting.com (by Shimano) and Retül is their large frame databases. In the context of BikeCAD, you could use the fit advisor to determine a starting point for the bike geometry, then potentially refine it by putting the rider on a fitting bike and then you could use those databases to automatically create a ranking of the frames that come closest to the target geometry, among all the available frames on the market.

I have recently moved all my business documents into proton drive on mac. Reason being that nothing is currently end ot end encrypted in the UK at the moment due to the British government wanting a back door into peoples computers. When i wan to 'open a design from a BikeCAD file' I can't find the proton drive folder anywhere. The folder is located under 'locations' in the sidebar and i can access it with other apps, but i can't open or save to it from BikeCAD. Any ideas?

I have uploaded a design from the archive and then amended it and then tried to save it as a template, but every time i re open the app it opens with a differnt template. I have tried dropping the file into the 'bike' folder and same thing happens, yet if i open design from BikeCAD file it works. Baffled here. I can't understand how the same file can be opened but isn't opening when I select it as a template.
