BikeCAD Pro How To

If i am to use the graphics application, i'll need to manipulate the position of the panel.  At some point this was easy or automatic, but somewhere in the updates, the feature was lost or moved and I am now unable to position the panels. And my old designs no longer display correctly-the panels run over the headtube and i can find no way to drag them back.

I need to center them on the tubes or even better, be able to slide them toward the bottom bracket.

Thanks In Advance.

I would like to import CAD files into BikeCAD Pro - .dwg and .dxf file types.

Is this possible?

I have looked around the site FAQ and Forums, but no info so far.

Thanks,

Tyler

I'm working on a couple bikes. One has the standard Paragon vertical hooded dropout and the other has the Paragon Slider. Is the generic hooded based off the paragon dropout?

Also I tried customizing the slider dropout but seem to be running into measurement issues. When I imput the,whats thought to be, proper values for the slider, it pulls the hood away from the stays and leaves a gap. Do you have the values for a Paragon slider?

When changing values in dropouts, is "R" the diameter of the hood? i.e. the diameter of the hood from paragon is roughly 38mm.

i was wondering about what you consider a stable bottom bracket drop. Is three inches good enough? Im having a hard time relating to the current frame I am building now because its a 29er and I am having problems imagining a bike with a 12 inch B.B. hight.

Hi Brent,  

I'm trying to model a mtb tandem, and what I did was create the captain seat tube forward in one model, and the stoker seat tube back in a second one.  I don't need miter templates, but I will need angles and lengths for front and rear of the bike.  Then I'll simply fill in the middle by using whatever length of boom tube I decide on, and then fit the lateral and stoker top tubes as needed.  Since the boom tube is generally level, using the same BB drop in both models would seem to give me a useful model to follow.

Hello, I'm confused what measurement to use for the bottom center head tube measurement for my Anvil Journeyman in the Jig setup tab.

There are two (X) and (Y).

Thanks!

Hi Brent.

Long time user, first time poster. . . does that make sense? 

Anywho, the subject line poses my question nicely.  I understand that it is in the .CSV output, but is there a way to display it onto the working screen?  i have searched the forum and the internet and have not been able to figure out how to do it, or if it is even possible.

Thanks for your help and for putting out a great product.

With 9.16 I am unable to adjust the top tube extension above or below head tube and seat tube extension above top tube. It only has from center of intersection. Please advise.

Hello!
I noticed the newest version has several crankset specs under the 'Standard' dropbox.  I have a couple of questions I hope someone can help me answer...

Hi !

I have a small issue with the 9.15 version: the seatstays/seat-tube mitering templates are not the same for both sides (my design is symetric). The drive side seems OK, but the non-drive side looks as is the seatstays was placed much more outside. On the seatstay view of the design everything looks ok, it's only on the mitering pdf. 

It's not a big issue as I usually use one template and then copy the 1st cut on the other one, but it's the first time I see this....

Any idea ?

Thanks !
