I can not take this anymore, creating patterns in illustrator has become unbearable.

The line from hell keeps showing up, yes I turned off anti-l.  See attached.  I have made sure my clipping and color background boxes are centered and aligned.  I am making a 6in x 6in swatch repeating pattern.

HELP!!!!!!!

See attached screenshot.

Hey Ton,

  I finally figured it out.  Even though I changed my preferences with the anti-aliasing, I needed to also change the export settings.  Thank you for your concern.

Can you share an example .ai file that gives the problem?

Dropbox, Google sharing, CC files folder sharing, WeTransfer...

Make sure you did not have a default 1 pt black thin stroke on the path you used to make your pattern or mask for your pattern. 

 

Try printing or exporting to a bitmapped format. If the lines disappear they are an anomally.

I export as PNG and I double checked there is not a stroke on my square.
