When printing miter templates from Adobe Acrobat, it is important that you do not permit any type of scaling. The sample print dialog box below highlights the area to check. If a miter template does not wrap perfectly around the tube, do not use it. Check again to ensure that the template was not scaled in the printing process.
BikeCAD Pro can export templates for coping the mitres at the ends of the down tube, seat tube, top tube, chain stays and seat stays. Just choose: File >> Export miter template (PDF) and select either 8.5" x 11", 11" x 17", A4 or A3 sheet size. When the Save dialog box appears, enter the appropriate wall thickness for each tube in the column on the right hand side.
