Additional Information
This is currently expected with vector tile basemaps. The layers with darker bands are along the tile boundaries for these layers; it is where the layers overlap slightly. Since these particular layers have some transparency, they appear darker where there is overlap along the tile boundaries. This issue is in development discussion to improve for ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud.Workaround
Utilize a different basemap, or follow the steps below:
- Select all the pieces of artwork for that layer. Make sure no other artwork from any other layer is selected, and do not select any clipping path layers. Make sure all pieces of artwork in the problem layer are selected.
- With those pieces of artwork selected, go to the Illustrator Pathfinder tool window and click the Unite icon to merge all the pieces of artwork together.
