    Just giving an update to this.

    After hours of troubleshooting and Adobe support having NO clue why this was occuring. It seems that .svg files made in AI 2017 and earlier are not supported in 2018 for aligning. I had to remake all my SVG's.

    Thanks for the update. If I understand you correctly, I'm inclined to suggest the problem was less about the CC2018 update and more about SVG. Responses to this thread may have been made in ignorance of the fact that you were working on exported-then-re-opened SVG files as opposed to clean and native Illustrator objects. (I missed that until I re-read your post #4.)

    If you do search of "opening SVG files in Illustrator," it becomes pretty obvious that SVG cannot serve as a reliable file format specification for archival and Illustrator re-editing purposes.

    I'm not able to replicate the issue. You could try saving, closing and reopening Illustrator or try resetting preferences. How to set preferences in Illustrator

    I tried resetting preferences, and reinstalling illustrator completely. It does this on 2 PC's, but sometimes it doesn't do it at all... Very frustrating.

    You could try uninstall/reinstall using CC Cleaner Tool. For some reason it is sometimes more successful at fixing issues.

    Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems
