In DesignSpark PCB, there is no obvious and simple way to manage Mitre when using Autorouting.
The only way to get the Mitre management dialog for Autorouter settings is...HOLD YOU BREATH HERE.
1. Go to Tools > AutoRoute Nets > All Nets
2. Now, Uncheck "Mitre" option and Recheck "Mitre" option. and VOILA, the Mitre management dialog appears.
There is no simple way of controlling whether the final Mitre round should use rounded fillets or angular Mitres. This is specially worrisome if we are on tight deadlines when prototype is to be shown to the customer.
The BEST part is, THIS INFORMATION DOES NOT APPEAR ANYWHERE IN THE DOCUMENTATION :)).
Proposal:
Let there be a button named "Set Mitre" just beside the "Mitre" checkbox, on the Autorouting settings dialog.
Pressing the "Set Mitre" button should bring up the Mitre management dialog.
Looks like an easy thing to do, because all the dots are already there, only the line connecting the dot needs to be completed by adding a button at the right place.
Requesting you to put this low hanging fruit on high priority list for the next release.
Thanks and best regards,
Vishal Sapre
