Hi, when moving a wired component in OrCAD PCB Designer 16.0, there are three options for what to do with the etch: (1) do nothing, which leaves the etch alone and just moves the component, (2) Rip up etch, which deletes all etch that was connected to the components, or (3) Stretch etch which turns the etch into a rubber band and gives you weird angles on the etch depending on where you move the component.
I have my normal routing constrained to 45 degree and 90 degree angles, so is there a way to also constrain the rubber bands also to 45/90 degrees? As it is, I have to delete the rubber bands and re-route them in 45/90 type etch.

Thanks.
