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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

Bug? Illustrator CC 2014 and Pixel Grid settings not working.

Hello,
I've noticed that in Illustrator CC '14 when I go to make a new web document with "Align New Objects to Pixel Grid" selected, as I'm working in the document none of the new shapes I draw actually align to the grid without me manually going into the Transform panel and selecting the option for each new shape.
Is there a new setting in '14 I'm missing? Obviously it's not a completely crippling behavior as there's a work around, but it is still quite annoying and slows my work flow down. Any help or insight is appreciated.

THIS IS A DAMMED ANNOYING CHOICE FOR BEHAVIOR, ADOBE.
My current position entails building lots of wireframes, and working amongst several other designers (9999 times out of 10000 aren't going to care or figure out alignments and "expand rectangle" every time they make a box.) Even if I actually manage to build a file where things adhere to a world of pixels, it will be ruined the moment I hand it to someone else.
There should be – ANYWHERE, I don't care if it's in Preferences or View, or Tool panel – an option which basically indicates "I'M BUILDING THIS FOR A SCREEN MADE OF PIXELS, SO DON'T EVER PUT SOMETHING AT A FRACTION OF A PIXEL."
Wasn't there a perfectly good application we're supposed to transition away from, something called Fireworks?

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.

Align to pixel grid for new object does not work

I have set my document to align new objects (shapes) to pixel grid under the advanced settings
I have gone into the options on the transform panel and set the check box to say all new objects should also align to pixel grid
But when I create a shape it doesn't work, I end up with shapes with 3 digit decimal sub pixel sizes. eg. 34.536px
If I want an object to align to pixel grid I'm having to set it individually for each object.
Is this a bug that will get fixed or is there some work around, it's frustrating to have to set the feature for every single object I create

Align new Objects to pixel grid setting works perfectly for all tools in Adobe Illustrator CC (17). In Illustrator 2014 CC (18) the rectangle and rounded rectangle tool do not automatically align to pixel.
This thread says it's because of the new Live Rectangle tool objects are exempt from the Align to Pixel grid until you release them by expanding them.

I'll be using the old version until Adobe 'fixes' this.

BUG - Align to pixel grid fails when object is on artboard edge.

When I am positioning an object (a rectangle, for instance) and am attempting to position it along the right edge of the artboard, with Snap to Pixel turned on, as I drag the rectangle down the artboard edge, the object no longer snaps to pixel.
Related bug, you can't turn off snap to artboard edge. Not sure why.

Grid lines and guide lines are too thin and not visible (Retina display)

How do I increase the "thickness" of them? I have no other idea how to make them more visible. They are just not visible enough.
I have tried every color. They are so thin with the settings I'm using for the display (I can't change the settings to smaller resolution)
On the solid color they are ok, but besides that... almost useless (and the grid, and the guides).

I asked about your Photoshop version to make sure it would have Retina display support. I use Windows with a 30inch 1920x1200 main display, but just tried the Photoshop 200% UI feature, and while it made the Photoshop UI nice and chunky, Guides were still just one pixel wide. So AFAICT the only workaround is to change the guide colour.
If it is a big problem, start a thread on Photoshop feedback site, or search the existing threads to see what has already been said about guides.

I don't see where your listener hostname matches hostname for your agent, thus agent discovery might have issue putting two and two together. Thus, the need to add it manually, or adjust it in targets.xml file first.

Bright White Pixel on LCD - But NOT Visible on Black Background

Hi All,
Just noticed today on my macbook pro (Early 08 - july manufacture) that a small white spot has appeared. Not the blobby large spots that were common lcd problems before on older models, but almost a pinprick of a white spot.
Now its not a dead pixel, since its not black, and its not a stuck pixel, since it has no definite visible colour, also, it is NOT visible on a black background (is this due to the way LED backlights work???) so i dont think its a HOT pixel exactly...it is most visible on plain white backgound - but on any colour R/B/G it is visible as a spot that is brighter than the other area around.
...so...what is it, how can i find out what it is? and might warranty help (presumably for one pixel = no)?
What might i try? Anyone else have experience of this? Every other forum post forum either talks about: 1) dead pixel that si ALWAYS black 2) Pixel that is always white but even on black background 3) coloured pixel - none of which i have exactly, my white pixel is NOT at all visible on black background.

Hi:
I just want to tell you that my Macbook Pro is the same as yours, at it presents that small white spots problem.
In fact, let me tell you all, that those are not dead or stuck pixels, is a problem on the LCD itself, the pixels on that spots are lighter than the other pixels, that's why they look white, but they are not white. They are a lighter color than the other pixels. But again, those are not pixels, in fact they are a group of pixels, from 6 to 13 pixels eash one. Also you can notice like hairlines with the same issue.
My white spots are on the left side of the screen, y 4 of them.
Also, my screen haves particles inside.
I will take my laptop to the apple service senter, and it doesn't matter what they say, they will have to exchange my screen.

Agent installed.. but not visible in Grid Control

Hello guys,
i have installed a new Oracle Grid Control (OMS with new database/repository) and upgraded it to 10.2.0.4.
After that i have installed a Oracle Grid control agent 10.2.0.4 agent on a host and configured it.. but the host is not visible in the Oracle Grid control.
The agent itself seems to work.
UPDATE: The problem is solved.. it was described in metalinknote #389528.1... the problem was that after the upgrade to 10.2.0.4 the secure configuration on the OMS was corrupted.
Regards
Stefan

I got the same error and as mentioned on the metalink note I fixed the problem.
however, on target tab of EM if I search clicking on the button ADD it is still dont finding the agent on the another host.
everythin seems to be ok....
any tips friends ?

Thumbnails not visible in Library Grid View

In LR 1.0 on Mac OS X, after converting from Beta 4.1, my thumbnail images are not visible in the Library Grid View, except for just a brief moment when I first click on a Folder (Shoot) name. The images then disappear, leaving just the background.
Double clicking on an image background brings up the image correctly in Loupe View.
Did I miss something in the conversion?
Many thanks!
(Mac OS X 10.4.8, Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5, 6.5 RAM)

Hello,
I have a similar problem, (windows xp)
Besides the thumbnails not being visible, when I open LR 1.0, it shows my folder structure as imported, with the number of files per folder, but right after that, the folder names start to gray out, and the number of pictures in each folder goes to "0" . The pictures are still there.
For each keyword it shows 0 pictures, until I click on that keyword, then it shows the number of pictures for that keyword.
I did uninstall 4.1, and deleted the database, I don't know if this is related to some left over Beta 4.1 somewhere in there.( my old identity plate still shows) I had no issues, other than being slow when using beta 4.1, I had only imported pictures on a as needed basis( in 4.1), and not the whole folder structure. ( as I want to do with LR 1.0 )
Any solutions ? ( other than uninstall and trying to to a better job of cleaning up, before re installing ? )
P.S. about 1000 files ( jpg,tiff,psd) did not get imported due to errors, but most of them were in my 4.1 library with no problems.
P.S 2 the keywords were entered either in bridge or ID imager, and written back to the files, I never used beta 4.1 to enter keywords, just used it to search them.
P.S 3 ( sorry this is getting too long...) it crashed on import 5 times, about 20,000 files, internal HD just for pics.
thank you,

Pixel Grid - not appearing

On my mac I have a pixel grid when I zoom in over 500%, but on my PC (both using CS5) I dont have the option of pixel grid under view>show.
Does this have something to do with the video card in my PC & selecting 'open GL' under edit.preferences?
Thanks

Up-to-date acording to Windows? go to nvidia.com and make sure that you really have the latest driver available. If it is then try installing some older drivers. Also, if you have the 64bit version of Windows XP then better to just give up as that operating system isn't supported.

Why is Illustrator 2014 not creating pixel perfect sizes, when snapping to pixel grid

I have the grid set to one line 10px intervals with 10 subdivisions so one pixel per line. I have snap to grid on, I've switched off smart guides in case that was causing the issue.
But when I drag a shape to snap it to the box it will add some additional .0XX pixel size to the end.
It's making it really difficult to work when I have to go back and enter the values exactly. Switching back to previous version but is this a release bug or is there a work around?

That seemed to resolve the issue but I found another issue:
- I check the align to pixel grid from the transform window
- I use the shape tool
- The checkbox for "align to pixel grid" unchecks itself
The shape tool still functions the way (aligns to pixel grid) I want but the UI is really bad.
