How do I make whole numbers the default for transform panel units?

Unless I manually change the x and y position of an artboard to a whole number, there'll be an extra pixel added. I always do this manually and would be delighted to find a way to set whole numbers as a default.

When you create a new document, artboards are automatically aligned to whole numbers.

Always check the Upper Left XY for this.

When there are multiple artboards, using the rearrange all artboards.

Yea, that may be the best work around. I like option click dragging out new artboards for storyboarding and itterating and that always results in the position being a decimal. Like Met1 said, I could use snap to pixel but then I have to turn it on adn off.

Try putting the curosr inside the x or y. Then use the cursor key to go up or down. Use Shift cursor key to move increment by 10.
