First is by clicking the <a href=\"https://www.bikecad.ca/quickapplet\">Quick Start</a> button in the top menu which takes you to a page where you can choose from a road bike or a mountain bike. For a greater selection of designs, we have our second option which is to go through the <a href=\"https://www.bikecad.ca/archive\">Design Archive</a> where you can choose from thousands of bicycle designs contributed by other BikeCAD users. Once you've saved some of your own designs, you'll find them all in the <b>My Designs</b> menu which is the third approach to launching BikeCAD. Finally, if you have an old BCAD file saved to your local machine, you can upload that to the site using the <a href=\"https://www.bikecad.ca/upload\">Upload</a> option. These four menu choices are displayed below.</p> <img src=\"https://www.bikecad.ca/faqFiles/menu_choices.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"112\" class=\"blackborder\"> <p>If you choose to start BikeCAD through the <b>Design Archive</b> or from <b>My Designs</b>, simply click on a design from the archive that you'd like to use as a starting template for a new design variation. Below the image of the bike, you'll see a link to open the model in BikeCAD. Click this link to launch BikeCAD.</p> <img src=\"https://www.bikecad.ca/faqFiles/open_model_link.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"179\" class=\"blackborder\"> <p>In the past, the free version of BikeCAD required the Java plugin to run. Now, browsers no longer support the Java plugin. Therefore, unless you are using a custom browser that somehow integrates the Java plugin, <b>DO NOT</b> check the box for the Java plugin.</p>","","1","0","1","0","bcurry");
