Turning off "snap to pixel grid" should turn snapping off!

Just learned about this when trying to align a logo that has a M and C and uses the C as base, when we need the M. So just keeping the request active to see if we get a solution 😉

Why did we get an app-wide update to UI sooner than a 3 years old fix?

Please fix this. Its entirely breaking my workflow for small reusable elements on prototype of a vector-based map. There’s no reason these elements need to be fixed to the pixel grid.

Figma please fix this. It’s extremely disruptive to workflow.

I don’t know whether I’ve already posted my +1 - I probably have, but this should have been fixed ages ago.

The image below shows a frame nested inside another frame. The outer frame’s dimensions were set by a Distribute operation, thus it’s not on the pixel grid. The inner frame was created after this process and so I need to snap to object/geometry, NOT the pixel grid. Pixel grid is OFF and yet the corner handles snap to the grid when they absolutely should not.

Snap to Pixel Grid should be universal with no exceptions. I can’t think of a single use case where this might be the desired behaviour.

Figma, please address this bug ASAP, and please make it retroactive in UI V2 (because UI V3...)

About 3 years later, even UI 3 won’t fix this. 😂

What a dumb product owner and QA.

BUMP - please have option like in every other program … Snap to grid

Dear Figma team,

Please fix this. Not being able to disable this necessitates the use of another design program for small icons.

It’s so annoying, but one way to play around this is to use a canvas with a higher pixel.

Another frustrated user here! I’ve got an icon with curves that I can’t get to the right size and I am not happy about it. One extra little annoyance: I can set the dimensions to a decimal by hand and the frame itself appears at those dimensions, but the content inside of it still behaves like the frame has snapped. Oy.

This is seriously still an issue? I want to redraw a logo into vector and as soon as I try adjusting curves with the pen tools, the individual curve guides also snap to grid, going all sorts of different directions and not allowing me to draw what I need to draw

Why did you even bother to add a drawing mode if you still cannot undo snapping to the pixel grid? What’s the point of this whole mode if I don’t have precise control over my illustration’s details? 
Please fix this, it’s been frustrating me for years!
