BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Brent,

I have an existing frame that I'm putting into BikeCad Pro. I have all key measurements, but the head tube height appears to be a dependent measurement. When I adjust the measurement from the center of the down tube intersection with the head tube to the bottom of the head tube, the head tube height doesn't change, rather the down tube slope changes. Therefore, I can't input the correct and measured height of the head tube. Your guidance is much appreciated. If you like, I can email you the file that I'm currently working with.

Best,

TRL

Newbie question.

I am using to reach & stack values to control the dimensions.

But if I want to have a horizontal T.T. it changes the H.T. length.

What am I getting wrong ?

Cheers, JB

I have downloaded and installed V12.0, but it only have the 4 generic dropouts that were in the previous releases.

Can you please give a download location for the new files for the paragon, and other drop outs?

Thanks,

Chris

I'm sure this has already been discussed, so apologies if it has. However, I'm looking for a way of adding braze-on cable guides. Is this part of the package, or as something not intergral to the structure of the frame, not included in the package?

Hi,

I did some design and saved it as SVB2015-01_LK.bcad (see attachment SVB2015-01_LK.png).

Next I saved the file as SVB2015-01_AO.bcad and did change some dimensions.

But I got an unexpected and undesired result. Please, see attachment SVB2015-01_AO.png

What I did wrong?

My system: Windows 8.1 64 bits, BikeCAD Pro 11.74, Java Version 8 Update 40 both 32 and 64 bits.

How do I set up the heatube for braze on integrated cups.

Like below, I know I can just use a standard measurements for overall length, but i was wondering if I could set it up to show the hidden piece of headtube inside the cups, and have the length tube showing and total length including part of tube inside?

Thanks in advance.

The .bcad file I am currently working on has mysteriously dissapeared. I saved the file every time before shutting down the program. The file still exists in the folder it is saved in, however, it won't open and the info box says there is 0 kb of data. Frustrated, as I am in the middle of the frame build and now don't have access to the design. Luckily I have the csv file of build specs, but I'm going to have to re-model my design if I want any visual reference. Not sure what happened, maybe someone has seen this before? I am running the linux version on a mac, 10.6.8.

hi, i can t instal BikeCAD pro, here what i have... could you help me?

Hi Brent,

Below i want show you my project over I work and can I create with this program, is it possible for future projects? Thanks,
