I took a look at the AnyRail file settings. One reason the 2 might not match is because AnyRail is more forgiving with it's default track joining tolerances. It joins tracks that are up to .125" (1/8") and 3° apart whereas SCARM uses only .079" (just over 1/12") and 2°. Therefore, if the tracks are "close" to the AnyRail tolerances, they'll join in AnyRail, but not in SCARM and the resulting design in SCARM will end up looking quite different depending on where the disconnects are during the design process. FWIW, RR-Track uses a default tolerance of .05" and doesn't show the angle. It may show that somewhere in the documentation, but I don't see any option to change whatever they use. That said, I'm not saying that changing the tolerance settings in SCARM will solve your problem and get you matching designs. You didn't post your SCARM file, so I have no way of knowing what else might be involved.
