Illustrator shape is not connected

I use the latest Illustrator version 28.5 on a Windows PC.

I created a shape using the Pen tool. It should be connected like always (Image 1 attached) but when i zoom in the dots seems disconnected (Image 2 attached). I use the lines for a CNC cutting machine, the cutting software doesn't read it when it's disconnected like that. What's the problem with Illustrator, I had no issue before.

Correct answer Bichoy PPP

I was going to ask if there were other formats. SVG is a pretty new player, so I'm sure there are other formats that might work better for you.


I got it finaly... after trying to change the settings of the svg file. It worked when i changed the CSS properties to "Style Attributes (Entity References)" & changed the Decimal places to "2" instead of 1.

The object does just have a stroke. Where does the white come from? And where oes the green come from?

 

Your trouble is the loose white fill?

Sorry about the confusion.. The White & Green are different layers fill as you see in Layers panel. Attached is just the shape i'm working on.

Can you please select those shapes and show screenshots of them in the layers panel and also the Appearance panel. Please embed your screenshots in your post, so we do not have to click on them to open them.
