Invalid Key message when saving

Hello Brent,

awesome tool you have made. I've taking up fiddling with bike geometry again but runnig into a problem.

When I try to save a design online I made with the free version, it says Invalid key (with a time stamp). I'm not sure what's going wrong (I am logged in). Few years back I was able to do this just fine.

Any help much appreciated.

Regards,

Camille

I tend to have a lot of people e-mailing me with variations on the same question, so I thought I would post the question and my response here on the forum for future reference:

Question: I would like to draw a frame with a 3° toptube. Can I use BikeCAD in a way that allows me to enter the headtube length, toptube length and degree of slope and go from there? Currently, I keep mucking around with either the head tube length changing on me or other parameters changing.

Suggestion/request

I'm new here, so bear with me. As I understand it, it is not possible to download a design, made in BikeCAD, to a local computer in a universal format; i.e. .pdf. If so, would it be possible to add a paid option that would allow the consumer level home user to have a copy of a design saved on-line email to them?

Thanks

David

Quick Start shows nothing

BikeCAD How To Forum

I just signed up, logged in, and changed my password. Clicking the Quick Start link yields a page with a menu bar on top and a sidebar on the left, but the main frame is just blank. I've enabled Flash, and haven't received any prompts about Java. I'm using an up-to-date version of Chrome on Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11.2). Any suggestions about how to get past this stumbling block would be appreciated.

Thx...

Hi, I have found that it is imposible to work in BikeCAD with the new java update.

All the dialogs windows have an useless behavior, when you move the mouse appears the background mixed in the window, or the form field repits itself ad infinitum.

Its better an image:

Sorry for my english.

Hi there,

I'm new to BikeCAD. I can't figure out how to measure the distance between pedal and fender.
I like to check whether there is problem to get the foot on the fender while steering?

My models are
