I just installed version 10 and when I try to open it I get a message that it is damaged and can't be opened. Any advice?

Thanks,

MC

How to change down tube / or create not standard frame

BikeCAD Pro How To Forum

Hi Brent,

I have two questions:

1) how can i change the lengthof the "down tube" of a standard bike frame?

I can only change the "Seat tube length" or "top tube length"

2) how is it possible to create my own bike frame, not using your standard "diamond frame" ?

i cannot find this function, is that not possibel ?

Many thanks for your clarification,

Thanks,

danack

I'm just starting to use v10 and can't figure out how to turn of display of the cranks, chain and cassette in the Auxilliary Chain Stay view.

Where can I find the option?

Thanks,

Tony

If I make a rider visible on a drawing, it looks fine.

If I close that drawing and reopen it, the rider is distorted. The rider dimensions are the same in both cases. Any ideas why this is happening? BikeCAD Pro 9.16 on Mac.

Thanks!

Hi I tried to find the answer using the forum search. I would like to confirm that the length of tubing to be cut before mitering using the templates are the ff: I might be a silly question but just want to confirm. Thanks! this is only possible for constant diameter round tubing and does not apply to Columbus Max...?

Thanks again!

Hi I would like to ask for help setting up the fixture's effective top tube length. ( please refer to the image) It is measured from the BB to the HT. Is there another name for it in BikeCAD Pro? Thank you very much!

My latest project using Columbus Max tubing. Opposing tube shapes are quite challenging to miter.

I am trying to print out the templates of a bike frame I have done but after testing them on the tubing they are all to small? ie the Down tube/ bottom bracket fits fine when it is rolled and taped but roll it round the tube it is 11mm out? and it is the same with all of them?

I have gone though all the tube sizings and there fine? I exported them as A4 for my printer.. am I missing something?
