: Divide objects below issue I am learning seamless pattern creation in Illustrator CS6. I've created some repeated pattern and divide it by rectangle using the Object-Path-Divide objects below menu.

I have found that if I am too 'zoomed in' so to speak things like the pathfinder and grids and rulers will mess up. Try going backwards, and scaling your work up, a couple inches, then trying again. That might work.

For reference, I usually work at about 10x10 inch grid. I hope that helps.

Since I can’t post images to notes, I created an answer:

I still think it might be the pixel grid alignment.
There are two settings for the pixel grid alignment:


The checkbox in the Transformation panel: Align to Pixel Grid
In the Dropdown of the Transformation panel you find Align new Objects to Textbox


Even if the old object is not aligned to the pixel grid, it will snap to it if you divide the objects, since you create new objects from the old ones. You need to have both turned off.

Here is a screenshot in german. I can’t provide an english one, but it should show where to find it.
