Has anyone modeled a modern BMX fork? Odyssey R32 perhaps? I'm having a horrible time trying to figure it out.

Has there been a change in the free version? The tooltips for paint and dimensions are greyed out and the menus won't open for me! Both in IE and IE tab for Chrome. Latest Java

Saddle to Handlebar Reach Dimension

I used to have access to this dimension on the online version, but now it is greyed out. If I load a drawing I previously created, that box is still checked, but the dimension no longer appears on the drawing, nor can I select or de-select it. I can understand the need to keep some things for the Pro version, but I'm not building bicycles. I just want to check what would happen if I change seatposts.

Hi guys, I'm new here. My question is regarding standover height...

I see that if I plug in my standover height, there is a handy algorithm that allows me to adjust the top tube angle to accomodate my standover height.

Dimensions

Greetings,

I notice that many dimensions in the various tabs are "greyed out" and not available to insert into a drawing. Is this a limited access aspect of the free version or are there ways to make the greyed out dimenisions available.

Thanks,

Bill

Hello from Peru.

I just start to use the BikeCAD and it is awesome, thak you very much, is really useful.

But, i need your help: i just put the numbers to decide the height of the frame, but i don't know how to decide the length of the seat stays, chain stays and the reach. I use a cross country bicycle.

Can you help me with that?
