Half circle becomes thicker when doing Object/Compound path/Make

[majab93208718]

I'm struggling  to do a very simple thing.

I know how to use Object/Compound path/Make and has been working perfectly.

But...

In this specific project I have a half circle among the shape that I would like to compund.

When I click Object/Compound path/Make a strange thing happens. Please see an image after.jpg attached.

I'm also attaching the before.jpg image for you to see how everything looks before I click Object/Compound path/Make. 

Why is the half circle suddenly so thick?

How are these objects constructed? Can we see outline mode?

Thanks for your answer. I'm sending an outline mode:

Maja,

The images look as if the half circle was a closed fill/nostroke path (maybe made by outlining an original(ly) stroked path like the others), that has turned into stroke/nofill like the rest of the Compound Path; and the stroke fills the inside (like the fill did) and adds to the total thickness.

Dear Jacob, you are totally right! I was working on an old version!

If I do a circle in a proper way:

• as a stroke circle
• and cut it by half with a direct selection tool and delete

then everything works just fine.

A bit embarrassed because I was taking your time without first checking my versions.

Sory, Maja

Maja,

There is no need to be embarrassed or sorry.

On the contrary, such a challenge is always a pleasure.
