I can no longer move my objects freely
I can no longer move my objects freely as before, they are forced to be moved as if there were pixels. The methods are similar to InDesign and I can't be as precise as before because I'm forced to put an object in a place I don't want. How can i deactivate that or which settings should I change? I cant find anything.

Repositioning an existing dimension does not really allow to snap the dimension line’s position
When we create a new dimension with Smart Guides enabled, it snaps to an existing dimension quite fine: by the line, by the anchor, just by proximity. The precision is strong, the snapping has a distinct ledge.
If I try to reposition on re-snap an existing dimension to another one though...
It doesn't work.
See the GIF attached, please.
Illustrator highlights the neighboring line, it tries to persuade you it snaps... but there is no ledge felt, no snapping happens, the line does no stop exactly at the position needed. It’s just broken.And since we can’t define a default…

Strange behaviour when scaling rectangles
In Illustrator 28.4.1 on Windows 11, if a rectangle is rotated to 45, 135, 225, or 315 degrees, it isn't able to be reliably manually scaled. Some edge and corner handles snap to unpredictable positions when dragged.

Smart Guides not working most of the time
The Smart guides are not working correctly anymore. When trying to move or add an anchor point there are no smart guides to help align it. If I want use the object tool there are no guides while hovering unless a random object in my canvas is selected, then all of a suddeny smart guides work again. Once an object is created then it always has smart guides available when moving but not when trying to create it aka hovering with the object tool.

This happens when Snap to Grid is enabled. Even when invisible, it still affects snapping and prevents Smart Guides from assisting to snapping at artboard’s edges.

Smart Guides do not work properly in large documents
I don't know if this is a recent problem with the 2023 version on Illustrator, but when I'm working on very large documents, smart guides simply do not work. I have to zoom really close to be able to snap and align this correctly. I believe that the behavior of such functionally should be scalable and independent of zoom levels.

Moving an object manually to align with another object, moves the wrong object
Quite often, when moving an object to snap to another object or anchor point, the moved object jumps back to its original position while the other object or even sometimes an anchor point makes the move instead
1 voteReported to be fixed in Beta 29.5.0.15 — please try to check if it now works as intended

Artboard's anchor points not working as expected.
Illustrator 25.4.1, Windows 10 Pro 21H1 build 19043.1110
I am trying to set the size of the artboard to the dimensions of certain elements in the drawing.
For this I would pick an anchor point of an artboard and align it with an anchorpoint of an object, smart guides and every necessary snap option is active.
However, the result is that the artboard is always off.
After trying for some time I found out that it's not the anchor point of the artboard that is aligned with the other anchor point, but the cursor. And the cursor is always a…1 vote -
Anchor point position is not precise as if snapped to an unknown grid
So, the issue is with the anchor point placement on the artboard. At one stage the bug happens and I am not free to move my anchor points where i want, or I create a new file and it happens from this moment on. It is not linked with any of the preferences, resolution, snap to grid etc.. I tried them all.
So I have to find a previously created file where that doesn't happen, replace the vector content, resize my file and I'm good to go.
When it happens I cannot: snap to point, snap to grid, scale is…

Object move increments is off
Mac OS Catalina 10.15.6
Illustrator 24.3
Updated 09/26/2020Checked preferences, changed to .001 px and rebooted illustrator
Selecting an object and pressing the arrow keys the object would move a point at a time, now it is like I am always holding the shift (10px) instead.
After the update I select an object and try to move it a point or two moves it randomly in every direction but the direction I would like.

Smart Guide glitch
I am making icons in Illustrator.
- Created a 1000px x 1000px file.
- Set horizontal & vertical guides at midpoints - 500px, so the intersection is accurate centre of the document.
- Using the pen tool, I hover to get the smart guide to snap to guide. BUT!!!! It snaps at position 500.5px not 500.0p.x Both horizontal & vertical are affected.The picture shows the "smart guides" assisting at the wrong point. The cursor vanished for the screenshot, but is hovering on "intersect".
I reset Illustrator settings & started a new file with no other items. Illustrator V 24.3.…

Snap to point not working
Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6, Illustrator 24.2
Selection points no longer seem to appear on hover and snap to point isn't working even if I quit the app and restart.
This is getting kind of ridiculous - trying to work is frustrating if you need to be precise with something.

Can't move an object less than 1 pt
When I drag an object to move it, it will move in increments of 1pt (e.g. I cannot move it 0.5pt).
