BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Hey guys, I just got the pro version just to realise that I can't really do much with it as compared to the free version. I have to add that I own a solidworks software and I have been using that for all my frame designs for the past few months. I was getting fed up with solidworks over angle manipulation problem so I thought I should give BikeCAD Pro a go. after downloading the latest version I notice very few differences to the free version which is of any good to me.

I just installed version 10 and when I try to open it I get a message that it is damaged and can't be opened. Any advice?

Thanks,

MC

Hi Brent,

I have two questions:

1) how can i change the lengthof the "down tube" of a standard bike frame?

I can only change the "Seat tube length" or "top tube length"

2) how is it possible to create my own bike frame, not using your standard "diamond frame" ?

i cannot find this function, is that not possibel ?

Many thanks for your clarification,

Thanks,

I'm just starting to use v10 and can't figure out how to turn of display of the cranks, chain and cassette in the Auxilliary Chain Stay view.

Where can I find the option?

Thanks,

Hi together,

I am a new user of BikeCAD Pro.

I uploaded a picture of a"future bike type" and would like to create a this new type of frame based on this picture.

Target is to create this frame based on the picture and modify the frame based on my ideas. Can anybody tell me

how this is possibel ?

Many thanks,

danack

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I cannot get the bike to see all color (rear wheel).. as much as I look.. do not get it..

If I make a rider visible on a drawing, it looks fine.

If I close that drawing and reopen it, the rider is distorted. The rider dimensions are the same in both cases. Any ideas why this is happening? BikeCAD Pro 9.16 on Mac.

Thanks!

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what are the dimensions (length x width) of the default bike saddle used in the program?

Thanks.

Hi I tried to find the answer using the forum search. I would like to confirm that the length of tubing to be cut before mitering using the templates are the ff: I might be a silly question but just want to confirm. Thanks! this is only possible for constant diameter round tubing and does not apply to Columbus Max...?

Thanks again!

Hi I would like to ask for help setting up the fixture's effective top tube length. ( please refer to the image) It is measured from the BB to the HT. Is there another name for it in BikeCAD Pro? Thank you very much!

My latest project using Columbus Max tubing. Opposing tube shapes are quite challenging to miter.
