BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Hi

I'm working with BikeCAD Pro on my laptop which is connected to an external screen half of the time. At some point I must have moved the "Display" window onto the secondary screen and today, with only the primary screen available, "Display" didn't appear.

I figured out that by changing

<entry key="LocY DISPLAY">1662</entry>

in dialogs1.xml to

<entry key="LocY DISPLAY">162</entry>

Hi. Does anyone know if it is possible within BikeCAD to fix the frame dimensions so that when the fork length is changed the bike will pivot around its rear axle? I would like to find out how a frame whose dimensions I know with a long fork on it would be affected with by a shorter fork (i.e. what would the new head angle, bottom bracket drop, etc now be). I've tried a few different things, but every time I change the fork length the frames dimensions change to compensate. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Brent,

It is possible to extend BikeCAD for Cantilever Bridges?

The usual dropout dialog box is blank and there is no dropout option in Tandem dialog box. Is there a way of choosing dropouts for a tandem design in the same way as for a single bike?

What am I missing?

Cheers

hi,

im just have unclikked all the dimension boxes manually but the sizes are still apearing on the drawing, i restarted my computers and all the all boxes are unclicked the sizes are still there, even after using the bottom left 'un-select' all option, any further ideas what to do, i run this on an apple but i belive all software is up to date .

thanks, mick

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.

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)
