I figure if they can't make the free version do what I want.... I spent some more time thinking about bike cad and decided to just chuck it. For me I really want something full sized that I can look at, weather that be Doug's fixture or a drawing. Thats way cool that you picked up a fixture from Doug. Did you get the whole shebang?

Or are you using the online one? I'm light years from being a software designer and will also weigh in that it can be very frustrating to use. I'd want to try the $$ version before I sunk that kind of coin into it: if it's just a more feature-packed version of the freebie, I'll probably be happier in the long run without. I bought a fixture from Doug and have been having tons of fun setting it up to randomly design weird frames. Much better than on the computer. But at the same time I'm sure there are little squidgy measurements that bikecad could just pump out. Did you pay for bikecad proper? Or are you using the online one?
