I've searched forum and I can't seem to find solution to my problem (or even questions related to it).

I use Illustrator CC and I run into this problem.



Note: I have used no strokes, only four separate shapes plus another one as a stroke underneath all. Now if I try to scale it down, let's say, four times the size, I get strange results. As if the shapes move around when scaled down.

Then, if I try to fix the problem by scaling down the underlying shape, it snaps way off the desired position.

I have turned off Align new objects to pixel grid.

I apologize if this question was posted earlier.

Do you have any effects applied to your artwork: e.g., Roughen, Tweak, Twist?

If so, you may need to expand the original shapes before scaling—Menu > Object > Expand Appearance.

What tool do you use when scaling your illustration?

It might be a "Transform Each" problem.
Try these two approaches and see if they make a difference:


Object -> Transform -> Scale...
Object -> Transform -> Transform Each...
