Hi, I created a text, oulined it, made a swoosh, united everything with path, 3D effect, arc it and add some line on the letters as accent. but the accent line are not following the rest when I want to rotate and when I save, my work is not in the center. I tried ctrl a and there is nothing else around. any idea?

    this what I made.

    this is with ctrl a

    this the result when I'm trying to save or export...

    I tried all option with jpg, png, tiff.

    I'm new to this, I dont have courses and I'm making effort...I have been trying averything I know for the last 3 days so far.....

    english is not my primary language, its hard to explain in my own word...dont judge please


    OK, thank you. That helps a lot.

    So when you export, do you put a checkmark at "Use artboard"?

    This option is usually in the first dialog box when exporting.

    It will export your artwork with the whitespace you have on the artboard.

    Based on the artwork's placement in your screenshot, I'm guessing there may be some point you're not seeing off to the left side. Instead of using Ctrl+A, can you select it all by dragging around your art? Then try grouping it and centering.

    You could also try going through your layers in the Layers Panel to see if there is anything you can't identify. If it helps, you can enlarge the thumbnails by using the flyout menu on the top right of the panel and go to Panel Options... where you can change the thumbnail to Large.

    Which version, which system?

    How is the artboard set up?

    WHich file format do you save?

    Which options?

    And what do you mean "not in the center"?

    You could start by showing a screenshot of how the artwork sits on the artboard.

    And then: what did you export and with which options?

    That's not too difficult: just quote where you put a checkmark.

    Please show some effort or we can't help you.

    And I still don't quite understand your issue. Can you please describe it better?
