Command F duplicate not aligned

[christos91694826]

Admittedly new to Illustrator but cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong.

I am attempting to simply copy (command C) then paste in front (command F) and simple image/object.

The copying (cmd C) operation is successful, but when I attempt to paste in front (cmd F) the copy appears higher and further to the left than the original.

Please advise.

Thanks much.

Christos,

As I (mis)understand it, if it is within a pixel, I wonder whether it is a matter of Align to Pixel Grid / Pixel perfect art .

From CC 2017 on, you can see the options and behaviour here:

For earlier versions, you may select everything and then untick Align to Pixel Grid in the Transform palette, and also untick Align New Objects to Pixel Grid in the flyout options. It is crucial that the box is completely unticked, not just a - which also counts as ticked.

It may be noted that even if Align to Pixel Grid is unticked with all objects selected, as long as Align New Objects to Pixel Grid is ticked the creation of new objects will result in those new objects being aligned, even when they are created from existing objects as may happen with Pathfinder operations.

You may avoid document types with that as default (RGB for web and the like) or change the default for such documents.

Thanks Jacob for your excellent response - I will check all these things this evening, but can’t help thinking that my issue will be resolved with the info you’ve shared.

Appreciate it man.
