BikeCAD How To

Hi, great software, thanks for sharing a free version. If i ever get more serious i'll have to upgrade to the pro. 

I haven't used Bikecad for several months but would like to now. I have a new computer since the last time, win8.1 and using chrome. I can't get things to work. I added a java security exception for this site, as shown in another thread, I also lowered the security threshold. 

First, I want to say thanks for the use of this fantastic free design tool.

I can't find/figure out how to select track dropouts. I have been using the hooded version and rotating them 180 degrees, but that looks funky.

Also, Quick Start won't launch today. Any news?

Thanks again.

The 1.7.0_51 update of Java has introduced some changes that I thought would be worth addressing.

I am trying to design a hub gear setup with a flange dia. of 105mm. Entering 105 in the appropriate field does not translate to the drawing. Also I cannot remove the derailleur from the chain so that it shows a single sprocket.

Help please?

Hi brent when i select the new cycling brands fonts and i click on the help button for the complete list of the brands logos it doesn't work.

Can you help me.

Thank you.

P.S: Sorry for my bad english, I'm french.

So this is my first post folks and it may be a stupid one but take it easy on me. I'm trying to use the free version on my mac. It tells me I need a plug in. I downloaded the java it requested but continues to tell me I need to update it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Hi

I just came on to update an old design of mine, but had forgotten my password. I requested a new password and as I was changing that, decided to chenge my username too.

Now I'm unable to locate any of my designs. Have they vanished without trace? Have I simply opened a fresh account instead? If so, my old username is no longer being recognised. Could I have somehow overwritten my old account?

None of the designs are in the public design archive, so unfortunately, I cant locate them that way.

I'm an occasional user of the web-based tool.   When I went back to edit a saved design yesterday I couldn't get the applet to paint the screen.  Hovering over the button area shows those, but the main edit canvas never renders.

I tried at home and at work on totally separate PCs and internet connections (and multiple browsers) - same symptoms for each.   Is anyone else seeing this?

I forgot  how to change the tube diameter. My top tube is 29mm wide so how do I change it? I think my down tube is not the same either.

thanks Mike
