BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Hi,

does anyone know if there is an option to see the fork crown clearance in regards to tire and fender? I know abou the "fork crown clearance" button in the fork dimension dialog box, but this doesn't show the tire or fender. but couldn't find anything

I use the stays auxillary view to see this for the rear triangle, but missing this option for the fork.

If this option doesn't exist, I think it would be a very helpful feature. ;)

thanks,

Dan

Hi there,

I just found out about the new cargobike option in version 18.0 off BikeCAD. I'm currently planing a cargobike and therefore it would be ideal, to have BikeCAD as support. I couldn't find the new version yet, so I'm a bit curious when it will be released?

Big up and thank your for this great feature!

All the best,

Quirin!

Is there a way to save each dimension set and transfer them to the new updated versions of BikeCAD? It's kind of a pain to have to go through and re-select each dimension/measurement everytime there is an update.

Thanks.

How (or can) the reference point for measuring the position of watter bottle drillings (to be used for a direct mount top tube bag in this case) be changed to reference the headtube delta instead of from the seat post? Similarly, when a cage is positioned, can it's direction be reversed (eg to "point" in the other direction for instance for the top of the bottle to be positioned facing the seat tube or vice versa when there's the bottle cage on the top of the top tube.

Hi All,

Not sure if this is addressed in a thread.

Just looking to find out how to recreate the Paragon flanged dropouts:

The specs are here.

Hi all,

Is there any way to fix the dimensions of the frame and look at how different fork geomety affects frame angles and trail, etc. My particular interest is in looking at HTA and trail based on fork ATC or offset changes, but probably could also be applied to suspension.

Is this a feature anywhere? Or a way to hack it?

I've tried to export to Free CAD and my bike doesn't show up when I follow export steps.

Am I missing a setting or step before I export?

I have made myself familiair with FreeCAD/PartDesign/Sketcher.

I know about Bodies, AxleCrosses, Pads, Sketches, DatumPlanes, etc.

I know how to activate a Body. But I do not see any Bodies in the Model Tree of a Bike design which I exported from BikeCAD.

I wanted to create a DatumPlane in the front fork. And turn the front wheel independent from the other parts of the bike. In order to get a better understanding of the steering behaviour of the bike.

Do I have to install another WorkBench, like Assembly ?

Is there an option to see the bake caliper on the auxillary stays view?

I am curious if anyone has experienced this. I went to recent BikeCAD files, and clink on a recent drawing, and I get this:

C:\Users\Blues\Documents\Truman1.Bcad

There are three finished drawings that were there last week, but are no longer found. Any thoughts? Thanks for any info on this!
