I can't find the option to turn off the pixel grid in Illustrator CC 2018.
I unchecked the "Snap to Pixel" by clicking on the top right list icon, but I don't see the little magnet icon seen in Illustrator CC 2017.
I don't either see the option to turn it off on the new document settings, even in the advanced and more settings options.
Some screenshots here :
General view
Transform box options
New document pop-up
New document pop-up "More Settings" option
The magnet icon isn't visible in the "Essentials" view. Switch to "Essentials classic" to make it visible again, disable it and now vertices can be aligned to the grid.
After some digging around I found out the root cause. Snap to Pixel is on or off by default depending what Profile is selected when making a new document.
With the "More Settings" view, right under "Name" is "Profile." Chances are it says [custom] now, this happens if you change any of the default parameters, but in all other respects it keeps making new documents according to what the last option defaults.
Snap to Pixel is on by default with "Web" or "Mobile" profiles. Select anything else and it should be off.
