Electronic – Drag any-angle trace Altium 10

altiumpcbrouting

I'm currently routing a schematic with Altium (10), it is very small and I use a lot of 'any-angle' traces. Altium can more or less route them 'fine', but the problems really begin when moving traces.

On this schematic I am often dragging and pushing traces, however, whenever I try to drag a traces that connects to an 'any-angle' trace or an 'any-angle' trace itself it will immediately change the 'any-angle' trace to 45 degrees as shown below.
Any-angle trace picked up to drag, immediately becomes 45 degree

"Restrict to 90/45" is not enabled, and as I said routing a new trace at any-angle works 'fine'.

Best Answer

I believe I found the answer. In addition to not having "Restrict to 90/45" checked, you also need to have "Preserve Angle When Dragging" unchecked. This is also in the Preferences --> PCB Editor --> Interactive Routing settings.
