It sounds like you're moving the line end-points rather than the line
itself. If you move the whole line
(try grabbing it in the center rather than on an end, or move a whole
selection of lines at once).
Another thing you can do is let the track get bent out of angle then use
the insert-point tool to add
a new point (break the odd-angle line into two segments) in the line.
This tool can still enforce the
45 degree requirement.

I have a question about moving tracks. When I place tracks using the
"line" tool they are automatically limited to 45 degree angles, which I
like.
However when I click on the "select" tool and use a left click to move
the tracks around the tracks are not limited to 45 degree angles, which
means I spend a lot of time re-aligning tracks to get the 45 degree
angles I want. As I am laying out a board with lots of SMD devices I am
using a 5 mil grid which means the number of possible angles is quite
large.
Is there a way to move/drag tracks that limits the track angles to 45
degrees? I have a feeling I am using PCB the wrong way and there must
be an "ah-ha" here somewhere to make moving tracks around easier :-)
Thanks,
David
