Pixel Accurate Translation from Illustrator to Photoshop

Hello

I want to work in Illustrator CS2 and ultimately export to a raster
format.

I created a document with units PIXELS. I set the grid to 1 pixel
increments.

I used the rectangle tool to draw some 1 pixel squares.

Yet, no matter how I try to produce a raster image, the result is
aliasing.

I've tried save for web, export, copy paste to Photoshop (as pixels,
smart objects, shapes, etc)--- nothing works.

It seems that illustrator "pixels" are not pixels at all--- they are
interpreted as dots, 1 pixel square, at the intersections at the
boundaries of photoshop pixels.

Can anyone help?

i actually dont understand everything u say, but i think this would
help u...

This is about Vector & Raster graphic software. Illy is vector and
Photoshop is a raster software. so they work in a different manner.
Photoshop is all about PIXELs and Illy is all about VECTOR graphics. I
think u can find many documents on this in the internet. : )

Sounds like you're not rasterizing at a 1:1 ratio. Try making a
Photoshop document the same number of pixels as the Illustrator file,
then do a cut-n-paste.

Try...
