Stroke appears to have Brush applied with no actual Brush
When I am in ANY artboard, I draw a .0139" x .0139" OR 1px x 1px square to center my artboard. I zoom in to as far as I can to then pull my ruler from top left to center the artwork on the page.
2 things,
1 the square (1px x 1px) appears to have a brush stroke on it as it does NOT
AND
I cannot pull the centering tool (in ruler, Ctl-R ) onto my artboard to then center the coordinates.

GPU mode Ai uses by default is fast, but can be imprecise at high zoom levels. To see the art the way it’s drawn, with no precision rounding artifacts, toggle it to CPU mode instead.

I see not what you mean with rulers and setting origin inside of a symbol, while editing it. Somehow I missed this part, assuming it’s a normal art, not an edited symbol. Instead of moving the origin in this mode, you should move the art itself. You don’t have to eyeball it, using Transform panel to adjust the position of the selected contents. Still have no idea what your workflow is, but I hope you were able to figure it out.
Good luck and thanks for coming at UserVoice with this.
I am closing this one, with comments opened. -

Hello Egor,
Thank you for tip on turning off the GPU. That did the trick, took off the "brush rendering appearance" of the artwork. (note: when creating artwork at that level I will turn off the GPU, but turn it back on when creating elaborate work or when backing out of that level of detail to take full advantage of that feature!
As for the coordinate "issue" I don't thinks it a detrimental issue at all as I found I could not use the centering tool inside a symbol child, but I can at its parent level. So, I found a way that satisfies my expectation whether designed that way or not it works great for what I want!
Thank You!

Jim, I don’t think it’s a brush at all.
Even though it looks like it’s a brush applied, I think it’s just the way it gets rendered due to the precision limit, with some points collapsed. Treat is as a 'quantum effect'. Remember, the current way AI today renders graphics is with GPU — it’s fast, but it cut corners when compute things. Try to toggle the rendering mode to CPU and compare the results.As for the origin point — I think you’d have to share the file and explain your steps, so that me and the team can reproduce the problem.

As for the not being able to drag the centering tool for zeroing out my coordinates. I am trying to edit one of my "library" artwork in a custom symbol I created. Any help at fixing this would be great as this is the child artwork to many pieces I create and the center coordinates is crucial.

Thank you for responding. Though I can maybe understand the offset, I was wondering about the appearance of the brush stroke which NO brush stroke is applied.

The stroke offset at the highest zoom level is a known problem. We are reaching the level of maximum precision, and some rounding happens.
I’m seeing the same problem, but less pronounced.
But I can’t reproduce the problem with dragging an origin point from the rulers’ intersections.
Can you please record this on video?
