Ai 2019 Problem With The Strokes

Dear Community,

Two additional strokes, added to a shape, look strange. The curvature is somehow faulted. Any idea why? Take a look at the screenshot (arrows point to the questionable spots) and try to help me, please.

Best regards,

Tomek

    Duly noted. The question is: What's wrong exactly? I freely moved corner widgets and then the faults disappeared. However I don't understand the correlation between the actual position of corner widgets and the im/proper curvature of the strokes...

    The corner widgets look like there's something wrong with the anchors. And when the anchors are wrong then it will cause what you see with your strokes.

    I can't tell you what exactly, because I don't have your file.


    Agree with you, Monika. It seems that the questionable anchor point should be a smooth point instead of a corner.

    Here's the outline mode screenshot. I don't see anything wrong apart from the bizarre locations of the two corner widgets...

    Please check if there is really only one anchor point or maybe two on top of each other.

    There's no additional anchor point...

    The position of this corner widget looks really weird, so there's definitely something wrong with that anchor.

    Hi Tomek,

    Confirming: these are four strokes on the same path, correct?

    Can you show your Appearance panel with the path selected? Make it as tall and wide as you need, and expand the Appearance for the yellow stroke.
