Stroke width won't go below 1pt.

[Guest]

Hi all.

I have a problem with illustrator. The stroke width won't go below 1 pt. It makes no difference if i choose a lower stroke weight in the dropdown menu, or if I type it in. I have tried the solution with both comma's and dots, same same.

Specifications:

Mac OSX Danish

Illustrator CS5 English

Any ideas?

Best Regards

Esben,

You will have to untick Align to Pixel Grid in the Transform Panel.

Thanks a bunch Jacob!

You are welcome, Esben.

The setting is the default for certain kinds of documents, such as those for Web & Devices.

This is all hearsay: I am still with 10.

Where do we untick this? I am having the same issue, I need to get to .001 pt for laser cutting.

It doesn't exist in mine, do you know why?

[Ton Frederiks]

Because things have changed since 2016.

Try unchecking View > Snap to Pixel

[amir29254833d70y]

:)) just changed, but not better it seems

I checked and unchecked all these, and tried it in the new document as well, still the same issue 

[Ton Frederiks]

Mmm, see if restarting helps and if not, resetting preferences.

Hi

Does anyone know how to do this in CC. The options on the Transform panel have changed.

Thanks

They are still there. You probably need to show all options, but the Align to pixel grid is still in the transform panel.

[FrankiSydney]

Hi. Thanks. I have just checked and these are the options on my Transform panel.

That's InDesign.

[FrankiSydney]

Yeah ... how do I change it?

[Monika Gause]

Well, you've posted to the Illustrator forum.

So whatever the error is in your case, it's not at all related to the problem we're discussing here.

Likewise thank you Jacob

Hello!
I had the same problem, but accidentally found one more solution.
First you need to draw a stroke, select it (with V-selection tool) and reduce the stroke size like you would reduce shape (scale it). Then you will see that in stroke panel appeared stroke size number lower tah 1 px. Then you can write down any size you want less than 1 px.
