Snap to grid not accurate?

[OnIineMarketing]

Hello Everyone,

I am pretty new to illustrator and graphics design. I love all the possibilities so far.

I activated the grid and the function that it snaps to the grid. Now when I draw shapes with the pen tool it seems like its not perfectly fitting to the grid. Please see the attached screenshot (the green shape).

Does anyone have any tips how I can make things to be perfectly accurate?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,

Grab individual points and start experimenting with your align panel?

Hi,

I recommend use a simple script in order to do that.
It wasn't my idea, I found it somewhere in the web, and it works well for me.
You can download this script here
1. Select objects or just some anchor points not snapped to the grid
2. Use 'File > Scripts > Other Script' (Cmd+F12) command
3. Select and run this script

I should say thanks for that good man who made this script for us    and hope it will be helpful for you as well

With pixel snapping on (the icon in the top-right of the window) Illustrator will snap your paths to the centre of pixels, so (for example) if you had a horizontal line that was one pixel thick, it would draw with no anti-aliasing. But this might not be what you want if you need lines to snap to the user-defined grid. Turn pixel snapping off and see if that helps.

Snapping to the grid snaps them to the document grid, which is different from the pixel grid. You want them to snap to the pixels, so you need to snap to pixel, not to grid.
