@MahaB82A 

Thank you for opening the topic.

 

The problem with this tutorial is unfortunately well known. I had already passed it on to the Illustrator team two years ago, but then lost track of it.

 

I will forward it again.

Hi Jacob,

@Turq98BC is totally right. The file is wrong!

 

There are two identical arcs exactly one above the other - nested in several groups. Furthermore the start and and end point of the arc are not exactly horizontally aligned.

 

Not the best template for beginners! And IMHO I would use the Join Tool instead of the menu command: Join
