My 45 degree routes don't always make straight lines. There's a very slight jog in them. Usually, this happens if the route stopped, and then I added to it. I don't know if that makes much sense, but if it does, is there a way to clean that up? I can post a picture of it, if needed. gene

If you want to manually do all your 45's, use the '/' key to switch to X mode (not \_ or _/ or *). Otherwise, PCB makes all connections with a pair of lines (one |-, one \/) which is normally needed when not all the pins/pads are on the same grid.

When this happens to me it is caused by not starting on the end point. Sometimes, especially with 45 deg traces, the end point can be a little tough to select. Also if you have changed to a coarser grid it can be more difficult to hit the end point. (* jcl *) -- Closed Tools + Open Files !=
