Is is true?! It's the most unbaked feature ever, aimed at Illustrator newbies.

Can't believe it's so... It's really destroying my workflow 😞

HELP!!!

Is there a way around it?

The two buttons are in the upper right of the Control panel. The second is a drop-down.

    Well, with the "Align to pixel grid" on, off or disabled; Illustrator new rendering engine pushes the elements ever so slightly off the grid. The on option works nice on new files, but is really messing up my cc 2016 files :-(

    See attached files

    Do you guys notice it as well?

    Text is a completely different thing. Try the options in the Character panel's menu.

    As for the squares: are they grouped?
