After years of use Altium, still a lot of things to learn to improve own efficiency...

Can you do similar in Altium?  :-//

CS has auto wire so I'm sure AD also does.

Start a wire at a pin, use shift+space or space to toggle end and corner modes and TAB to enter auto wire mode.  A small dialog box asks for a time limit for routing and also a L (low) to H (high) chance of cutting something.

In auto wire mode, the wire will be a rubber band that is heavily dotted.  Click on the destination and it will route.

It's a bit tricky and just took me about 10 minutes to get it right.

It would be nice if documentation was better but that's why we have forums  8)
