Narrative:
ATC cleared us to intercept 215 degree radial outbound from swl VOR direct diw. At 15-20 DME, we were on 225 degree radial when queried by ATC. We replied 'correcting back.' we were then cleared direct diw. VOR/localizer autocapture was deselected, therefore, course capture didn't occur.
