BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Don't know why, it has run great up until now. Java is current and I've restarted the program and PC with no change. Probably something simple that I am over looking. Thanks

I can't seem to be able to edit the fork length and offset in the dialog box.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I can enter a different value for a custom fork but the drawing doesn't update and doesn't save the dimensions.

First of all- thanks Brent!

Is it possible to bring your previously defined templates into the newer version.
I finally have it all my display and dimension templates dialed in, plus all the standard parts that I have created: Forks - stems - cranks - ect...
Can I simply copy my templates folder from the software data file from one to the next? Or do I risk loosing some new functionality?

I have a new monitor that is wider than my old one, 1024 x 768. When I open BikeCAD Pro 8.1 the entire screen is stretched out (left and right) and the bike is distorted. Any ideas? It makes it impossible to design.

thanks,

I would like to turn the paint off. How can I do that?

thanks Mike

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
