Presets + templates gone with 13.5 upgrade

Brent,

Upgraded to 13.5 this morning. I noticed that I cannot find the previous templates + custom components (e.g. handlebars) I added while using v13 (Prior to v13 I didn't really have a need to saving customized stuff).

It looks like I can drag the files I need from BikeCAD_13.0_configuration into BikeCAD_13.5_configuration but is there an easier (or automatic) way to do this?

Thanks for your continued development + support!

Noob questiosn.

How do I display lug angles for the various tubes. I avve searched all the demention boxes and can not seem to find a setting that will display these dimentions so that I can track down the propper lugs for my designs.

Any thoughts?

Thank you all for the great insight so far..

Is there any way (or an easy way) to output a BOM once a design is completed?

Is there a way to include a view of aerobars/handlebars and their corresponding measures in a report/pdf export along with the bike and its dimensions?

Searched the glossary and forum but could not find anything on it.

Cheers,

Patrick

Hi, I am trying to get a template to mitre the seat stays into the top tube, when I configure the seats stays this way they don't seem long enough and cut sgort in a square edge rather that blend along the top tube. Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help

I've used the free BikeCAD many times in past years but not for the last year or so. Now I find it no longer works although I've followed all the advice given in this forum. My suggestion is to fix it and charge a nominal fee for a given period. John Robert
