BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Hi, I'm using the standard version of BikeCAD (online), and the main issue that

I've it that the app is only working on Chrome and is very unresponsive.

Is the Pro version significantly faster?

I've easily installed new fonts in previous versions of BCPro but I have a problem putting them on v14.0 on a new PC.

The new fonts are installed on the PC and appear in Word etc but not BikeCAD even after app and PC restarts.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I may have missed it somewhere but I am wrestling to get the correct Chainline on a bike I designed. The major problem seems to be to define the length of the bottom bracket spindle. I can enter all values except this one. My OLD is 110 on a specific design where I would want to use a beltdrive system. The issue I get is that the front cog will either touch the right chainstay or whenever I use a longer bottom bracket spindle the belt will simply slide of the rear cog because the chainline is incorrect. I use standard tapered 68mm BSA BB's.

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?
