I have an old PCB CAD tool that just won't do copper pours or fills around
corners very well. Perhaps the odd designs are that person's way around a
similar limitation.
The board looks pretty neat and clean otherwise though. Doesn't that give
the impression that the designer knew what he was doing?

Can't wait to hear what the board is from....

> Any idea why traces are like that ?

Did the person who drew the board have a lazy afternoon and
just threw in some patterns ?

Or did they just not have a clue what they were doing ?

Ditto for whatever routing software was used

Are the patterns part of the design for another board, which
on this model are unused and shorted at various points ?

How many of them are part of the supply lines / ground plane ?
