So did diagonal wires ever get added to the schematic? Stepping them as above looks pretty bad and it seems like it would be quite a basic feature to have.

This was the only reference to it I could find on the forum.

And for me this does not look professional/standard.
I usually make the component match the connector while building the component, looks much better and is a lot less confusing. One PCB package I've used would loop over a crossing, but in most cases nowdays there isn't E sized drawings with everything wired up, just A size drawings with net ports.

Kevin, I'm not sure how that answered the question at all, but I'm also interested in having diagonal wire runs. Personally, for the smaller boards I'm typically doing, net ports are way more confusing to the viewer than actual wires connecting things. YMMV

So, the question stands, is there a way to do diagonal wires in Diptrace Schematic Capture?
