Pixel grid does not line up with rulers

AICS 5.5 - I'm working in a doc with measurement set to pixels, showing the grid set to increments of 1 pixel. I reset the rulers by double-clicking on the origin. The grid does not align to the ruler pixels. It's about halfway between on the y axis and about 3/5 of the way off on the x axis. When I create objects with the origin and width/height set to even pixels (which makes them fall between the pixel grid lines) and save for web, the edges are antialiased.
How do I make the rulers and pixel grid register with each other? It seems odd this wouldn't be the default.

Aha - it turns out the artboards were not placed precisely on the pixel grid. Their origins were set between whole pixel values. The rulers went with the artboards, so their pixels didn't match the grid pixels.
Should be possible to just move the artboard and get everything lined up again.
Still - I would think the grid would readjust to the origin of whatever artboard you are currently working on, just as the rulers do. It not doing so is unexpected behavior.

Pixel grid does not match pixels

hi,
please see the attached.
I have a document that is 1in x 1in and the resolution is 10ppi. The grid spacing is 1px but you can see the grid is not aligned with the pixels (which are coloured green in this image).
I am using CS6 and for some reason you have to set up the gridline every 2px with a 2px subdivision. Does anyone know why this is?
thank you

Sorry, I tried but can't reproduce it here. When I set the grid lines to 1 per pixel and 1 division per grid line it looks like this:
I'm going to guess it must have something to do with the display driver.

Grid no longer lines up with rulers!

For some reason, I can no longer adjust the grid to line up with my rulers. Usually when you are viewing the grid, if you drag your ruler coordinates, the grid would line up with 0,0, coordinates.
Now it seems to only work for me when I select the artboard tool icon, that allows me to move the grid. Then when I leave the artboard to go back to work, the grid moved, but then I manually have to move the ruler to match the new grid placement...
I don't know if I am explaining myself clearly. This is a major nuisance, since I do a lot of floor plans in Illustrator and need to move the grid around when I am working.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan

Figured it out!
I'm on a mac and by doing a control click on the ruler you'll get a menu that has an option to Change to Global Rulers... if you select this, then the menu changes to Change to Artboard Rulers.
Somehow I must have inadvertantly turned on "Change to Artboard Rulers" at some point... I'm thinking that there must be a shortcut that I don't know about...
I've been using Illustrator since it's inception... never had a need to change the Artboard rulers before....

Align New objects to pixel grid does not seem to work - Windows 7

Here is another issue I've been struggling with for a while.
Scenario:
1. Working on a web UI, so want to use pixel grid, which is handy. So I create a new document, web profile and making sure 'Align New Objects to Pixel Grid' is selected:
2. Yay! We have a nice and clean new document, cannot wait to start drawing rectangles! But let's double-check if everything is hunky dory:
3. Right! Let's go and start making rectangles!
4. And NOOOOOOOO!!!! As you can see in the image above, the rectangle is not aligned to pixel grid (look at the values), and it's "Align to pixel grid" option is not selected. Let's triple-check our options:
So yeah, there you go. It's all lies! You have to check the check box AFTER you create the shapes FOR EACH SHAPE!
Illustrator why you do this?! What am I missing here?!

kaanungur,
I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug sorry feature where it refuses to align to the Pixel Grid.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

Hi MartinR
Thank you for your reply, i have tried what you suggest, and it did not work, the i DVD opening title changed but not the embedded movie.
Perhaps it is a setting in Final Cut Express?
After capturing my footage, i open a new project then i convert all clips to anamorphic, to give me the letterbox effect, i have tried now with and without anamorphic.
In my canvas screen, the footage does not fill the square, even if i have not selected anamorphic, and fall well within the TV safe areas, but the only way to ill the canvas up is to crop it bigger, but still when i export it does not give me the full screen view.
Any ideas?

Pixel Grid is not visible

I am using Adobe Illustrator CC version 17.0.1 x64 on Windows 8.1.
In Edit > Preferences > Guides & Grid I have the Show Pixel Grid option checked but when zoomed in over 600% the pixel grid does not appear. Am I missing something?

In addition to the preference setting you have to turn on Pixel Preview in the View menu.

Hi Daniel,
What is the make of the printer and is it using PCL or PS driver.?
Do you have Acrobat installed on this machine as well?
Please check if 'Print Spooler' service is running on the machine.

Symbol isolation mode, the pixel grid is not aligned to the ruler.

If you create a symbol that is pixel perfect, exit out of the symbol and go back in, the pixels bleed into each other because the pixel grid is not aligned correctly. Instead it is aligned to the global document grid which the symbol content is not placed in. It makes no sense to align the pixel grid to the global coordinates when the content by definition is not present in it.
This makes it impossible to use symbols to edit pixel perfect objects because any editing other than the original creation does not display pixels but pixel bleeds.
This is a valid bug in Illustrator CS6. Please specify:
1. Do you understand what I am specifying? If you do not I will provide images as I wish to resolve this functionality.
2. Please specify if it has been fixed in Illustrator CC. I do not have an available Win7 installation to test CC but if it is I will acquire one.

Thank you submitted. Input from Adobe's developers or developer relations representatives on this forum to expedite a solution to this bug would be greatly appreciated. As Adobe's products are now on a subscription one would hope it's product roadmap would accelerate with regards to Illustrator considering the necessity of Vector graphics in a market with multiple largely varying resolutions.
If you create a symbol that is pixel perfect, exit out of the symbol and go into Symbol edit mode (from the Symbol Panel or when a symbol's dimensions have been modified) the Pixel Preview grid is not aligned correctly. The Pixel Preview grid is nonsensically aligned to the document's coordinates. It makes no sense to align the Pixel Preview grid to the document's coordinates in symbol edit mode as it causes an inability to see the Pixel Preview without bleeding.
This makes it impossible to use symbols to edit pixel perfect objects because any editing other than the original creation does not display pixels but pixel bleeds.
Again the fundamental issue is that: There is no reason to align the Symbol Edit mode to the global Pixel Preview grid. The Pixel Preview grid should align to the Symbol coordinates.
http://i.imgur.com/KB2CdEx.jpg
The screenshot is in Pixel Preview. Moving the contents of the Symbol in Edit mode from it's correct position to temporarily align to the Preview Pixel grid is incorrect:
1. Because you just moved the correctly placed contents. The Symbol placed in it's parent to prevent pixel bleeding is now incorrect.
2. On a subsequent edit it would be misaligned because as specified, Illustrator aligns the contents of Symbol editing mode nonsensically to the global Pixel Preview grid.
With regards to Align to Pixel grid
1. This is a bug regardless of improvements to Align to Pixel to facilitate an acceptable workflow.
2. Align to pixel grid is not an acceptable workflow:
a. Not possible to place path vertices in the middle of a pixel to facilitate pixel strokes.
b. Mangles rounded corners.
d. It is not prudent to rely on an arbitrary algorithm with regards to forward or backward compatability in creating anything, considering the possibility of mangling and/or changed behavior as specified above.
The workflow to create pixel perfect UI elements is to position vertices absolutetly.

Time Machine does not cope well with nearly-full disk

Although Time Machine is supposed to delete old backups when the disk fills up, under some circumstances it does not cope well with a disk-full condition.
Hardware: iMac (mid 2007)
OS: Mac OS X version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
The other day I noticed that I had not had a successful Time Machine backup in over a day. Backups were taking a long time to run (4 hours or more), during which time the backup disk was chattering constantly and the disk showed "Estimating index time" in the Spotlight menu (even though I had excluded the disk from Spotlight indexing). When the disk finally stopped chattering, the backup finished with no visible errors but Time Machine continued to state that the last successful backup was yesterday. The backup disk was nearly full, but I had assumed that Time Machine was designed to cope with this situation by deleting old backups.
A complete annotated log file of the incident and my observations can be found here: http://bentopress.com/backup.log.zip

Sep 7 17:28:40 Bento-iMac com.apple.backupd[58064]: Waiting for index to be ready (100)
Here's what I think is happening: at the very end of the backup, after the files have been copied to the backup disk, mds resets indexing because the disk is now full. backupd's attempt to flush the index to disk then fails because indexing is suspended (error zero), so the backup is canceled. I suspect that this may occur when the new backup and the old one(s) being deleted are both small enough that the disk "packs" tightly, leaving no room for the index. If a large (>500MB) old backup had been deleted to make room for a small (<100MB) new one, the problem would not have occurred.
I worked around the problem by switching Time Machine from the full disk to my Time Capsule. (I did not have this system backing up to the Time Capsule originally because I purchased the Time Capsule later for a different system.) The downside of this is that I lost access to older backups (though they are still accessible by right-clicking on Time Machine in the dock and selecting "Browse other Time Machine disks..."—however, I have not actually tried this). I'm also not completely happy having both my main systems backing up to the same hardware, but everything seems to be working well at this point and I do have a secondary backup system, using SuperDuper to clone the systems' disks to an external HD, which I do about once a month.
Although I have worked around the problem, I am posting this in the hope that it will be useful to someone else, in the hope that someone at Apple will notice and perhaps improve the performance of Time Machine in this situation, and also in the hope that someone can suggest a solution that does not involve throwing a bigger disk at the problem. Is there any way to free up space on Time Machine's backup disk, for example by manually pruning older backups, either through Time Machine itself or via the Finder or command line?

If you suspect that the disk being full is the problem, have you tried deleting some of the old backup data on the TM disk?
When in TM, go back to the past a long way, right click on a file/directory and select "delete backup". Do this on some big files you have (so that you get more space per removal) that you change all the time (so you'll still have recent backups).

Resulting grid does not contain at least one row, one column and one POV

I have upgraded to 9.3.3 recently.
We have a front end app which will run MDX queries to retrieve data.
Sometimes based on the users selections MDX query might get back nothing i.e will get #missing across all rows/columns and this works fine with the existing 9.3.1 essbase server.
If I run the same query against a 9.3.3 essbase cube I get the error "Resulting grid does not contain at least one row, one column and one POV. If you have any suppress row options selected pls clear them."
I DO NOT have Supress missing data/zero enabled. Not sure why I get this error even though I dont have that option enabled.
Essbase 9.3.3 on HP-UX ITanium 11.31
APS 9.3.3 on win 2003 R2
Smartview 9.3.3 - also tried with smartview 9.3.1.6 and see the same error.
Any suggestions to fix this issues?

The front end is using a VBA command "hypexecutequery" and with 9.3.3 essbase I get a return code -9 which means Operation was cancelled as per the smartview doc.
In 9.3.1 essbase I get the return code 0 which means the query is fine even if it does not return any data.
The query I am using now will return nothing as it is a check to see if there is any data. But with 9.3.3 Essbase I get an error code -9 which looks like it does not like the syntax or something.
Any suggestions?

Adobe Reader does not automatically associate with PDF files in Xp Sp3

I have reinstalled Reader (twice) and it does not automatically associate with PDF files.
How do I fix this problem?
Cheers, JH

The thing is, when I right click a pdf file, and then go to properties, change default program to open with, select browse, I select it in the correct folder, when I click open, it doesnt open and the programs stay blank, so I cant select anything. There is nothing to select. And I have re-installed. But at the end of the install there are no options what file types to associate with. Any way to do it inside Reader?
I have reader 9.2.0. and Win7 up to date. When I'm opening and closing allot of files the whole time, I don't want to do inside reader. Help please?

Does not start up with last viewed Tabs even though chosen in options?

V 4.01 with Vista. Even after choosing the correct option in options>options>General FF does not start up with the last session of Tabs and Windows. It always opens with a single blank Tab. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" if Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.
If you use CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.
