I have several rectangular shaped bands that I want cropped by a perfect circle. Yet it is not cropping exactly.

Easier to explain by the screen shots:

1. White circle, behind blue gradient circle with, white band on top

2. White bands with a circle of exact same size and position on top

3. After Pathfinder Crop

4. Unhide #1

5. "Artifact" up close

Draw and design

What does the outline view show?

Is there anything that prevents you from uniting the horizontal lines and the ring? If not, I would just do that.

Ent,

Probably far too far out, but what happens if you change the (Pathfinder Options) Precision to a very low value?

I set it to the lowest: 0.001

No change

I think it is caused by anti-aliasing.

If you turn Anti-aliased Artwork off in the Preferences and view it using CPU Preview it will probably go away.

No, it's not just the display. It shows up in exported JPG or PNG. But thanks for replying.

And if you check Art Optimized (instead of the default Type Optimized) for anti-aliasing during export, is it still visible?

Screen shots didn't line up very well lets try again:

1. White circle, behind blue gradient circle with, white band on top

2. White bands with a circle of exact same size and position on top

3. After Pathfinder Crop

4. Unhide #1

5. "Artifact" up close
