Question

Tabs panel not aligning to zero

Hi everyone!

I'm making a little tabbed Nutritional Information panel, but when I click the magnet icon ()  to align it to the box, it misaligns a long way to the left (see screenshot below, showing edge of text box and the large misplacement). What might be causing this?

Thanks,

Tim

I'm on Windows 7 64bit, Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 :

Encounter the same issue as original poster as well (both on my own file and on his demo.ai)

The magnet does not align properly (it does in my InDesign), anyone found a solution?

I had the exact same problem and, as I've found out with a lot of screen positioning problems since I started using Win10, it has to do with the "zoom" function of the OS.

Are you using it by any chance? It needs to be at 100% as it would seems Illustrator uses "relative" positioning without considering the right %, which probably messes it. You'll also need to logout(?)/restart for the change to take effect in Illustrator.

Nutritional Panels, a speciality of mine, would love to help you.

Can you please post a dropbox link to the file? We also need to know what version of Ilustraror you are using and OS.

Works fine on the Mac, maybe resetting your preferences will help.
