Align to pixel grid option not showing in transform panel.

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.

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.

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!

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?
