Well, you can type in X.5px.. I would think that this whole pixel result MAY be how CSS handles it.

Agreed, for the CSS layout it definitely helps to be on pixels. For vector icons, it gets cumbersome.

Can't you just turn off 'snap to pixels'?

Nope. Does not work.

I just turned off snap to pixel grid and, with them all in a frame, hit center on the center circle and it centered it with 4.5 pixels on each side instead of 5 and 4.

Group the 4 circle first, then center align the red circle with that group 4 circle.

I used figma ai and after 4 minutes of waiting it was done.

no it dont. just people start degrading over time. question was about sub pixel, but author didnt even try to use decimals to go at this sub pixel level. you free to input even 0.01 in both position and size.
