BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Hi: I am enjoying learning to use BikeCAD Pro. My goal is to build a frame/frames for personal/hobby use. At this point, I am planning on using steel tubing. Everything I read suggests custom frame builders will take rider weight and bike riding application (e.g. road vs cross) into consideration when choosing a tube set. I have been looking at bike geometrys online gain insight into frame design.

Maybe this is too bumb to ask, but can the same configuration files be use on both a Mac and PC?

Hey all,

I did a quick glance, but didn't see it covered... How do we input more fonts into the program?

Can anyone break it down in simple, easy to follow instructions for a non tech saavy guy like myself?

Thanks!

I input 'custom' wheel rim and tire dimensions, and saved that particular rim and tire combination into my dropdown menu as a 'standard'.

I then realized I had the entered the wrong overall tire diameter, so I changed it and saved this as another 'standard' set, with a different name; I would have rather edited or overwrote the initial setting(s) I saved.

I'm guessing there may be at least one way to do this, involving pulling up personal configuration data and editing it...

Is there an easier way (any way at all)?

If I input "L" for a fox fork (e.g. 527 mm), travel of 120 mm, sag of 24 mm (i.e. 20% sag) and head tube angle of 69 degrees, will final drawing reflect that head tube angle at 20% sag?

Thanks, Daniel

I know I've told you guys up and asked about this, but here we go again. I still need to find out how to turn off the wheels on the horizontal display. It also would be neat if I could turn off the display that shows the wheels on the vertical display or even totally turn off the vertical display I'm also interested in looking at a real sized (100%) image in being able to print that out so I can match it to my tubes on my frame Jig.

Hello,

The box that contains the font option doesn't seems to appear or open anywhere.

I have watched and read your tutorial several times but nothing comes up when I check the boxes that should launch the font/logo text option.

Any hints?

I have the 12.5 version installed on a MacBook Pro 2016 version

I know the exact shape of a handle bar isn't always what is modelled, but is it possible to get a dimension that is the point a handle bar would hit the top tube, back from the head tube?

I’m about to build my 1st carbon frame, and wanted to add a few extra layers in that area.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Brent,

Is it possible to set the cantilever boss in front of the rear brake - forwards showing - because it’s a big frames what makes the problems.

Please take a look at the picture.

Thanks

I am a BikeCAD Pro user and cannot for the life of me figure out how to get paint schemes to show on the frame. I have read all I can in the forum about paint and color and just can't make colors show up on the frame.

MAC user if that matters.

What am I missing?
