Align to pixel grid option not showing in transform panel.

[RicardoAxolotl]

Hello everybody,

As the title says, I am trying to move objects and they move in pixel increments, I know that I have to deselect the align to pixel grid, But... the option is nowhere to be found! I attach the appropriate images for your consideration, thanks in advance!

This is CC 2017?

The option is gone. There's a new align to pixel function. You find it in the control panel to the far right.

Oh my god! thank you so much. This was kind of driving me nuts.

Cheers!

I can't find it anywhere. I'm going insane, I've tried everything and it's been hours. Can you help me where you found to disable align to pixel?

For everyone else that's going nuts with this and trying to sort it out, see below for a bit more detail on how to sort this:

I eventually found the menu referred to - it's the little menu icon under the X exit button, top right

Don't uncheck the "Snap to Pixel" - that's what I did and got frustrated when it didn't work.

Leave it checked, or check if it isn't already.

Then beside it, you'll see another icon - the little magnet symbol is the pixel snapping option.  Click it to turn on / off, or click the arrow beside it for a menu of options.

Hope this helps someone else!

You are a lifesaver, thank you. I was going insane trying to find this in the updated Illusrator.

Thanks so much. This was driving me insane! I too couldn't find the option in the Transform pallet. I might go and get a coffee to celebrate.
