BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Hi Brent,

Can you please help. I'm trying to update to BikeCAD Pro version 13.5 but keep getting three error boxes pop up one after the other. I'm completely stumped as to what I'm doing wrong. Please see attached images of the errors. I'd really appreciate any advice.

Thanks very much!

Hey Brent + Co.

I'm using BikeCAD (13.5 on OSX). I'm running into strange behaviors when trying to use a dual monitor set-up.

1. "Constrain to single monitor" UNCHECKED
Open up any dimensions window.
Move dimensions window to my 2nd monitor.
Click on bike drawing (primary monitor)
Click back on dimensions.
Dimensions window flips back to my primary monitor.

Hi there!

I was hooked on to BikeCAD Pro by a fitter in Mexico city.

Im in the process of designing a bamboo cargo bike to use as a food cart.

I can't afford the full version of BikeCAD at the moment but was keen to get started.

The issue i'm having is I can't work out how to simulate the rider animation. I've been clicking the eye on the rider symbol in the display panel, but it just remains permanently crossed out. Any ideas?

Regards

Arthur

This is probably the typical newbie question. If look at the bike manfactures website and take the geometry of a bike I will end-up with the standard information. Stack/Reack horz. Top-tube, Seat-tube and head tube and the two main angles. Given stack & reach how do I proceed from there s.t. the seat-tube length and especially the head-tube length shows-up in BikeCAD. I did not understand where I could input the head tube length. i probably missed a how-to or something. A point in this direction would be appriciated

Hi guys!

is it possible to integrate an own brandlogo and place it somewhere on the bike?

Best Regard!!!

Hi Brent,

I want to view the bike I draw from a birds eye view option. Is this possible?

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
