Any way to get the seat tube length from the Ebike motor cabinet to top of the seat tube?

I have noticed that these 2 dimensions:

1) Saddle Tip to Brake Hood (Direct)

2) Saddle Tip to Brake Hood (Projected)

... on a road bike diaghram I create are almost always of equal length/measurement. I assume "Direct" is meant to represent a diagonal measure from the saddle tip across to either one of the brake hoods while "Projected" is a midway point between both brake hoods. IF my assumption is correct, then these two measures should always be different with the Direct being the longer one.

Hi - How do you Model sloped Fork Crowns to get the proper Dimensions? For instance A 7 Degree Sloped Crown and 45 degree Raked Fork Blades should be about 70mm of effective rake. There doesn't seem to be a way of doing this except for putting in a fork with 70mm of rake and doing the math yourself.

There is the Angle Dimension Box you can change but it doesn't seem to do much.

I´m working on a MTB design

the bike is intended to Trail and XC main use

It fits a suspension that can move from 80-100-120 and 140 and of course the AC lenght is modified with every travel

I would like to design the bike with a certain travel and lock the geometry to see how the AC lenght changes the HT/ST angle as well the BB height

can this be done??

thank you

i've been using pro for about 18 months with no issues, today when i try and export a design to pdf it comes up a with a java error, i've updated Java but still the same issue. Any ideas anyone?

Brent,

In another thread I asked about raising the 2nd SS up from the drop out on a Mixte frame. I got that figured out.

I'm noticing a weird behavior in Ver 14 that I just can't figure out:

I am having trouble creating mitering templates. When I click "Save" on the dialogue box, BikeCAD Pro hangs on me--all of the menu options stop working, i.e., I click on the ribbon items and nothing happens. Unfortunately, I have updated several things since this last worked for me, including the new version of BikeCAD and a new Java build. I have tried rebooting, and that did not change the application's behavior. Here's my setup:

macOS 10.13.6 "High Sierra"

Java 8 build 191

BikeCAD Pro v14.0

Has anyone else noticed this?

How do I slope the toptube with an effective seattube length of 58 c-c. When I set the slope on the toptube it changes the headtube length. Is it possible to change that so it alters the seattube length?

there is someway to get a mitter template of a SS-ST-TT cluster like this one?

I have been doing some tests but no template obtained beyond the ST point

thanks!

I installed the BikeCAD 64bit Version on a Windows 7 System. It works fine, for the first time after the install. I saved the bike I worked on. Shutted the program afterwards.

Next time, I look in the folder I saved the file in. No file there. Explorer is not showing it, but Explorer says there should be a file in the folder.....

Tried to find the installed program, nothing in th start menu, searching for it, it is installed in a root folder, I'm not able to start the .exe file.

I'm puzzled what happened.

Best
