Detailed Description

From CADSTAR help: "For specifying the directions in which routes can enter or exit the pad.

There are eight pre-defined directions to choose from, North, South, East, West, North-East, North-West, South-East and South-West, plus "Free Angle" which allows routes to exit in any direction.

If none of the direction boxes are checked, the system uses the default which is all directions (as shown above) for all pad shapes, except the long (drawn) Routes exit from the short sides of long pads - in other words in line with the long axis.

Note: These Exit Directions are applied to the PCB component. If the PCB component is rotated when it is used on a PCB Design, the Exit Directions will rotate with it."

The main thing to note is that the exit angle is not relative to the pad (even if the pad is at an angle): it is relative to the component as a whole. This is confusing, considering this property belongs to the pad...
