Why isn't symbol isolation mode aligned to the pixel grid?

So apparently, symbol isolation mode isn't aligned to the (global apparently?) pixel grid, rather the paths are displayed aligned to the origin presumably. The origin is not aligned to an intersection of the grid. Thus it becomes very difficult to create pixel perfect symbols. Paths that are snapped to the pixel grid are then redisplayed offsetting from the origin, causing bleeding in the isolation mode. If the origin is specified as the center that is (presumably it would work fine for a corner), you're going to have a bad time.
Is this fixed in CS6?
Also, has there been a feature added in CS6 to reposition the origin as the center of an object?

Okay I have figured out a workflow that generally resolves all the peculiar behavior with align to pixel and symbols.
Do not align to pixel your paths. Align to pixel your symbols. The symbol origin will be aligned to pixel and there will be no bleeding in isolation mode and you can snap to pixel the symbol itself.
You still have to scale/adjust your snapped to pixel paths as they are expanded on a paste for some unknown reason. This is an issue of another thread but may be useful to complete the workflow.
It still quite an issue though that for absolutely no reason, symbols without align to pixel are displayed as displaced from an arbitrary position of the origin in isolation mode. This is a bug I feel in the implementation.

  • 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.

  • Why isn't my screen turning sideways on the iPhone 4s.

    Why isn't my screen rotating horizontally? The portrait lock is not on and I have even turned it off and on. It still doesn't work. I have also turned my phone off and tried it. I know that the app supports it because it has since I have bought it. The apps that I have tried so far are gmail and apple's messaging, the one that comes with the phone.

    Thank you At first it didn't rotate but when I clicked off of it and clicked back on it worked. It just needed so time. Thank you again

  • Why can't I see these results in the results grid

    If I run the pl/sql below as a script F5 I can see the results of the "select * from TestOutput", but If I execute it with F9 I don't see any results in the results grid. Anybody know why? Thanks in advance for any help.
    CREATE TABLE TestOutput (val1 varchar2(50), val2 varchar2(255) , numval1 NUMBER, numval2 NUMBER);
    DECLARE
    SomeText VARCHAR2(255);
    BEGIN
    SomeText := 'Hello';
    INSERT INTO TestOutput VALUES ('yadayada', SomeText, 1, 1);
    INSERT INTO TestOutput VALUES ('yadayada', SomeText, 2, 2);
    INSERT INTO TestOutput VALUES ('yadayada', SomeText, 3, 3);
    END;
    select * from TestOutput;
    drop table TestOutput;

    I think that you he is executing all the commands of a time, selecting everything and click in F9 or F5.
    If he will be this, this behavior is correct.
    Ps.:
    F5 - scripts.
    F9 - alone statements (not to be that they are separate for semicolons).

    Georgia is not in the list of countries where iTunes Store is available.

  • Why isn't an HDMI cable included in the Apple TV box and price?

    Having just bought an Apple TV unit and am very happy with it, I'm finding it difficult to understand why Apple charge extra for an HDMI cable when this is the only cable that connects the unit to a TV and without the box is useless. This is why it's taken me 15 years to buy an Apple anything! Comments welcome.

    Apple TV's instructions are unclear on the HDMI cable. As if not including the cable was bad enough , they don't say explicitly in Apple TV's instructions that the cable is in fact SOLD separately NOT INCLUDED . It doesn't say it anywhere!  Why would they leave that information out?
      I had to search online for people's complaints about Apple not including a crucial cable in order to figure this out.  I wouldn't have been annoyed  had Apple just been honest in their set up manual about omitting the HDMI cable, but they're vague.  Customers could start messing around with other cables on their TV thinking that the necessary cable might already exist with their HD TV.     Jobs would've been ******.

  • Why isn't all my downloaded music in the Media Folder(Windows 7 iTunes 11)

    I recently purchased a new PC. When I installed iTunes back on my new PC, it pulled down all my music. I can go to any song and it will play with no problems. However, when I was needing to add some music to a project, I went to iTunes\iTunes Media\Music I only see a very few of my songs. Where are they? Do I have to pay for them again and download? I now wish that I had not installed the new version.
    Thanks to anyone that has an answer

    Had the media folder changed at some point?
    You can use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to bring in copies of the files that are outside of the media folder having checked you've got the right folder selected. You'll need to manually clean up the originals.
    Backup the library before you make changes, then update the backup once you're certain everything is as you want it. Refresh the backup regularly.
