I installed AD20 to play around a bit. The new any-angle mode so far works as advertised, it is quite smooth and responsive. The video may be pre-planned but I don't think it's heavily edited. The router seems to update the proposed path at every grid step, so if you set a small grid the updates

Ignoring the bovine references and attempting to answer the question: Topological routing means using the connectivity graph of the system to generate geometrical constraints, and also to generate specific geometry for say traces or polygons. It's called that because it uses concepts from the disc
