Thanks for this! I’ve been dealing with this for about 3 years now. What a stupid %$&#ing decision, why would anyone want a anti-aliased rectangle by default? I always had to zoom in 300% and nudge my points over with the direct selection tool until I could get a crisp edge. I sure hope this was fixed in CS5…or are we up to CS6 now?

Also drag a ruler with shift and it will lock in to the exact pixel

I have the same problem with the Rectangle Marquee tool. Zoom a 72 dpi document to 100% and then try to select a shape from edge to edge exactly. Release the mouse and the stupid Marquee tool is one pixel off, or sometimes one pixel off on both the left and right sides! I have to zoom to 600% to see the actual pixels before it will work correctly. It’s driving me insane.
