It has only been more that 3 DECADES for this error. If the bits in question are vanishly small, who cares, just delete them! This error comes up here frequently when we are scaling art to send to the proofer. There is no weay around it other that rasterizing the file which is not really an option either. We recieve lots of art that has been vectorized, & virtually every one has something vanishingly small.

Hello @Darth Vader,

I am sorry to hear about your experience. I tried replicating this on my end but could not. Would you mind sharing more details, like the OS/Illustrator version and a screen recording of the problem, so I can check it with the team?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
