I am designing a bike with seat stays that attach at the head tube. The program is giving me a standover to the top of the top tube, but this is below the seat stays. Is there any way to get a measurement to the highest point on the frame, i.e., to the top of the seat stays?

Standover to the top of mixte seat stays
If you've designed your mixte as described at: bikecad.ca/mixte, then your design won't actually have a top tube. Yet, BikeCAD will still display the standover dimension as though the top tube were there. This is a behaviour I may have to change in the future. However, if I were to change things so that in the absense of a top tube, standover height is measured to some other reference point, I imagine there may be some disagreement on what that re'ference point should be. For now, I think the best solution is to create your own user dimension to show the standover height according to your own definition of it. User dimensions are described at: bikecad.ca/user_dimensions. You'll want to use the Linear dimension (Y) option.
The linear dimension is perfect! Thanks for your help.
