Dom, Go to 'Rules'. In 'Acute Angle Constraint' choose 'Net Class' for 'Filter Kind', then click on 'Edit Classes' and add a new class. In that class put all nets except nets connected to your polygons. Then, once back in the rule dialog, choose the net class you created from 'Net Class'. This rule will not check polygon outlines.

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)?
