Question

Stroke Weight Won't Go Below 1pt (NEW Version of Illustrator)

I already know the answer is to uncheck "Align To Pixel Grid" in the Transform panel.  The problem is that option is gone in the latest update. 

Toggling "Align To Pixel Grid" in the Properties panel also doesn't work.

I'm trying to set my lines to .001 pt.

Thanks for your help.

It is wierd, because when I set in the properties panel it jumps to 1 or 0, but in the stroke palette you can set any number with comma. It looks like an ugly BUG.

The stroke panel


If it happens in all your (new) documents and they are not based on a Web preset, I would first reset the preferences:
