Hi,

I was wondering if there could be a check for off-specified-angle track segments? For instance, if you have the option set to 'mitre' could it check for non 45-degree segments?

I know that having segments which are at strange angles has sometimes caused issues with the copper pour algorithm in the past, and it's always annoying when you see your nicely laid out board with one track going off at a random angle, so I think it might be a nice addition.

I hope this makes sense!

Best wishes,
Olga.

Ah, I hadn't noticed the angled track thing; thanks!
However, I do think it would be useful to have a DRC flag as well, because sometimes the angled segments are very small & would be tricky to spot even with a stripe.

Best wishes,
Olga.

There is a highlight colour for 'Angled Tracks' which will draw a stripe down any track segment that is not orthogonal or on 45 degrees.

Is this any help, or are you actually looking for a DRC check to flag them too?
