Arc to track with Netlist (curved traces) [Solved]

My current design would benefit if I can place round copper traces between my parts (mostly 90° and 120° arcs).
I found a plugin https://github.com/stimulu/kicad-round-tracks but was unable to get it working on Win10. But it also looks not like the functionality I need.

One possible workaround is draw a arc relative to my parts and designate them as copper layer. Is it possible to assign a Net-Property to an arc?

Or is there a another function to curve tracks?

Have a look a these RF tools. They might address your needs.

I have used the track rounder that you have linked to with success too on macOS - it might be worth trying to debug that with the author on GitHub.

I will give it a try and report back

What about Stretch?

@John: I installed the plugins and it works great. A tip: the Net has to be set before the curve is drawn

@eeintech: This looks great. Unfortunately I did not get it to work. I will finish my current PCB and come back to the issue. Unfortunately I need to work on two different OS (Win+Linux). Usually everything connected to Win needs more attention.
