Align Tool is Wrong

[hsnfirdaus]

I don't know why align tool is not working as i expected (check in the video).

Your video clearly shows the problem, but I am not able to replicate it.

The artboard in your video looks like a pale blue. Is that a shape that is covering the artboard, and maybe is that shape not the same size as the artboard?

I'm covering my artboard with rectangle pale blue, i'm try to centering the grouping layer (text and linux logo). My example file in this link: https://shared-assets.adobe.com/link/c12aafdb-63cb-40d0-6c3c-6553ce29f14f

What version/system are you using?

Did you try to restart your computer? If that does not help, reset preferences?

I have tried your file and it's not working for me either. I replaced the font as I don't have that installed and it's still nor working. I copy-pasted it into a new file and iot doesn't work. But it does work with my own objects. So it could be something with htose objects.

Can you try and create some basic new artwork and try if it works?

I think the problem only happen if i'm try to align this object (added to artboard using place):

When i try align other svg file, the object correctly placed

I tried Object > Path > Clean Up...

After that, it behaved as it should.

Thank you very much, i can confirm it works!

Good to hear it helped (but I did not figure out what the clean up did to fix it).
