Illustrator: Can’t get stroke smaller than 1 pt. Why???

[Simon Hough]

I found a solution to the problem. Just turn off Align New Objects to Pixel grid in the Transform panel.

[Anna Surell]

That was really useful! Thank you!

Possible solution:
Open your “Transform” Panel, then uncheck “Align to Pixel grid”

Works for me 🙂

Wow thanks Simon, this was a huge find.

I realized that when you create a new document make sure “Align New Objects to Pixels Grid” is unchecked at the bottom.
