Hi,

Can somebody please tell me how to turn off snap to pixel by default, so I don't have to turn it off everytime I start a new project.

Current solution is to just use View>snap to pixel, but this only lasts for that one project, if I start a new project, even in the same session, the new document will have snap to pixel turned on - which is very irritating. I didn't have this issue with previous versions. I am using 2020.

Cheers!

Here's another solution if you want a "permanent" solution you can edit the Web.ai document inside the New Document Profiles.

Open the file, turn off the "Align art to pixel grid...", save the file.
Close Illustrator.
Then each document based on that profile will have the Align to Pixel off.

New Document Profiles Locations are (for Illustrator 2020)
Mac: Macintosh HD/Users/“USERNAME"/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator 24/en_US/New Document Profiles
Windows: C:\Users\"USERNAME"\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 24 Settings\en_US\x64\New Document Profiles
