The crisp appearance of pixel-aligned strokes is maintained in the raster output at a resolution of 72-ppi only. For other resolutions, there is a high
possibility of such strokes producing anti-aliased results.
Objects that are pixel-aligned, but do not have any straight vertical or horizontal segments, are not modified to align to the pixel grid. For example,
because a rotated rectangle does not have straight vertical or horizontal segments, it is not nudged to produce crisp paths, when the pixel-aligned
property is set for it.
Note: The document level property and pixel-aligned status of each object are saved in the .ai file.

Aligning existing objects to pixel grid
An object with the Align to Pixel Grid option selected, is nudged to align to pixel grid whenever it is modified. For example, if you move or
transform a pixel-aligned object, the object is realigned to pixel grid according to its new coordinates.
To align an existing object to pixel grid, select the object and check the Align to Pixel Grid check box at the bottom on the Transform panel.
Align to Pixel Grid option in the Transform panel
When you select this option, the vertical and horizontal segments of the paths of the object are nudged. As a result, the appearance of such
segments always shows crisp strokes, for all stroke widths and all locations. Objects with this option selected, always have stroke widths in full
integer values.
Bringing non-aligned objects into documents with the Align New Objects to Pixel Grid option enabled, does not automatically pixel-align such
objects. To make such objects pixel-aligned, select the object and then select the Align to Pixel Grid option from the Transform panel. You cannot
pixel-align objects such as rasters, raster effects, and text objects because such objects do not have real paths.
Selecting objects not aligned to pixel grid
Click Select > Object > Not Aligned to Pixel Grid to select the objects.
Aligning symbols to pixel grid
To create a pixel-aligned symbol, select the Align to Pixel Grid option from the Symbol Options dialog box. Symbols aligned to pixel grid remain
aligned to the pixel grid at all locations of the artboard, in their actual size.
Note: A scaled symbol may not produce crisp paths although it is pixel-aligned by property.
For more information on aligning to pixel grid, see Drawing pixel-aligned paths for web workflows.
If the Reset button in the Control panel is active, it implies that the symbol has been transformed and is not in its actual size.
Viewing the pixel grid
To view the pixel grid, zoom to 600% or higher in Pixel Preview mode.
To set the preferences for viewing pixel grid, click Preferences> Guides & Grid. Select the Show Pixel Grid (Above 600% Zoom) option if it is not
already selected.
Saving selected slices
To save only selected slices from the artwork, click File > Save Selected Slices.
