Re: Forcing pixel boundaries
James,
For example, creating a rectangle won't snap to a grid when you create it.
This isn't true. Perhaps your getting confused by what actually snaps to the grid. The snapping is done to the internal part of the rectangle, not the line part. To test, right click on the "No Fill" part of the colour bar to set the default to no line width. Now draw your rectangles with lock to grid on and all your rectangles will be whole pixels.
If you want to use lines, then ensure your lines are in whole pixel sizes. If I want this accuracy I don't use lines but clone the shape an use the Contour tool to enlarge in whole pixel sizes and use the Inset Path to create a second shape. This way there's no confusion of the line being half in and half out of the shape.
Another point worth bearing in mind is if your resizing more than one shape do not to use the selection handles to resize shapes but use the shape editor tool and drag the nodes.
