Hello Dom, I usually turn off the acute angle check. As you state, you will get an error wherever any primitive in the crosshatch construction meets another primitive at less than 90 deg. For example, whenever a horizontal or vertical hatch meets a chamfered corner of a polygon.

It has lots of polygons that I have constructed with a tracksize of 12mil & a grid of 10mil (& thus overlapping to form a solid copper area). It seems that "within the construct" of the polygon there is obviously areas where an acute angle of < 90degrees is formed, that's obvious, but this seems to me to be checking at too low a level. I only really want the checking to be on individual tracks & the outline of the polygon. Have I missed some way of getting this to work properly? How do you do it (or do you turn acute angle off)?
