Pie chart problem with small values
When I create a pie chart that contains small values along large ones, Illustrator will just delete the small ones.
These numbers are the original (and the smallest value just disappears):
25
12
5
4
3
2
58
17
1832
If I change the two smallest values to 5 and 4 it will render these slices.
25
12
5
4
5
4
58
17
1832
I know it's very small but I do need them to be present.
When needed I can provide screenshots.

Thanks for checking it out. I have moved the production of my pie chart for this particular project to meta-chart.com, where I exported an svg to integrate in my Illustrator-file. For now that's a workaround that's OK for me. And maybe, if a sprint of the team contains some extra time, a mathematical wizard can put some time in perfecting the graph tool ;-)

Yep, I can see that. If I flatten the transparency to get this expanded, I see this non-zero sector flattened into a flat line, but with handles correctly positioned (but can’t say that about handles’ lengths...)
It feels like the sum of the parts fall below a certain precision threshold! If I change 1832 to something smaller, the magenta sector appears back. 876 — OK, 877 — not OK!
These make the sums to be 1004 and 1005 correspondingly... and this leads me nowhere.
360 / 1004 = 0,3585657370517928
360 / 1005 = 0,3582089552238806
Sure, 0.35 looks familiar, 1 pt = 0.35278 mm... but that’s hardly it.Great find... not sure though if team handles anything chart-related these days... :(
Still thank you so much for reporting this. Perhaps if we discover enough of problems like this, they finally realize how toolset is flawed and make some work. -

Hello Egor, thanks for reaching out. Attached is an example. On page 1 (if you open the data of the graph) there are 9 values, the sixth value is "4" (I have coloured it pink in the graph). On page 2 I changed the sixth value to "2" and you see it's disappeared from the rendering. If you change the value back to "4", the pink slice appears again on page 2. Thanks for your help.

Taco, can you please share a simple test file with a graph like this? A screenshot of the result would be nice to have too. Thanks!
