I know for sure that when counting squares during movement that you can move diagonal evey other square at no extra cost to movement. It's been like this since 3.5, and I found it on the are a few weeks ago. But, I'm trying to find it now to show it to a GM and can't. Anyone known where I find this? Diagonal movement only address moving diagonally only.

Are you saying you believe that moving north, then northeast, then north, then northeast, only counts as 20 feet of movement? Because, that is incorrect. The second diagonal counts as 10 feet, so those 4 squares moved would cost you 25 feet of movement.
When measuring distance, the first diagonal counts as 1 square, the second counts as 2 squares, the third counts as 1, the fourth as 2, and so on.

Sorry, that's incorrect. It's not just that the second contiguous diagonal square counts double, it's the second (and 4th, and 6th...) diagonal square entered during your movement that counts double, even if you have a non-diagonal move in between.

OP the rule you are looking for is on pg 193 of the Core Rulebook:
counts as 1 square, the second counts as 2 squares, the
third counts as 1, the fourth as 2, and so on.
Also Wheldrake, you might not have intended it, but your post came across as a little antagonistic. I'm fairly certain OP understands the rule just fine based on what he said since what he said means the exact same thing as your clarification. You may wish to reread his post since he gave an accurate, while abridged, description of the rule and was not incorrect, just less specific was all.
