No, all_direction_lines generates no 45°lines.
There is no reason to use all_direction_lines on combination with INS.
Because the result will be chaos.

I think im a advanced user. Im now in the position to use excessive the
INS-Function in combination without all_direction_lines and
without orthogonal_move,  because the result are clean lines in
0°,45°,90°,135°,180°,225°,270°,360°.


Please do not remove this feature!!!
I think this is essential for clean lines.
Many normatives force you to use None-90° lines.
The only clean angle without 90° is 45° for a clean EMC solution.
