Pen tool is snapping despite all snapping turned off?

Hi, I am having an issue where the pen tool snaps to the nearest path. I've turned off all snapping in 'view' and rubber band option in prefferences, but still, unless I'm zoomed right in, the pen tool automatically snaps to the nearest path which is very frustrating - any help would be greatly appreciated! I used to using CS5 and it seems a lot has become harder now I have the up to date version... Thanks!
