VXL Q: Wire Editing Without The Jogs?

    I'm using VXL's wonderful wire-editor to make some quick connections,
    but for some reason this tool likes to insert random tiny jogs in what
    would otherwise be perfectly straight routes. I could understand a
    jog or two near the end of route when the tool is making its final
    approach to an instance terminal, but why would it do this in wide-
    open channels? More importantly, does anyone know the magic for
    turning this "feature" off?

    My understanding is the following:

    Cadence bought IC craftsman tool some time ago, and integrated into
    their tools and called into VCR and CCAR. The tool in order to work
    has to have certain rules and constraints setup, otherwise it seems to
    misbehave and do strange things. The VCR and CCAR tool works
    beautiful, but I haven't been able to justify the time in trying to
    get some of the wire-editor features (where it completes the path
    automatically) to work at this venture because it seemed like it was
    somewhat buggy, and it was slow, or at least when I looked into it
    about a year ago.
