Almost every time I add a linear gradient to an object I want to change the angle from 0 to 90 degrees.
Is there a script that I could use for this, so that I could assign a keyboard shortcut and press that instead of clicking the box & typing 90 all the time? (i.e. select an object, run a script & it would apply the standard black to white linear gradient at 90 degrees instead of 0.)
Suppose I have an object filled with a linear gradient. This object is the only selected. I just would like to change the angle of the gradient to 25 degrees. So I think I could do:
var doc = app.activeDocument
alert(doc.selection[0].fillColor.angle) // the result is the exact angle of the gradient fill of the selected object. Suppose 12 degrees.
//now the try to change:
doc.selection[0].fillColor.angle = 25.0
No errors are found by the Extended Script Toolkit..BUT...it does not change anything. As Illustrator reference manual does not say this property is read only, I think I could write.
Im drawing in isometric view and want to change the default drawing angle from 30 degrees to another angle.

View 25 Replies View RelatedI need the finished script to create a rectangle with no fill and a 20% gray stroke to outline each artboard. I dug this up off these boards, which works perfectly except the rectangles created have no fill or stroke. certainly save me a lot of time drawing rectangles on a daily basis.
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var artboardRef = docRef.artboards;
for(i=0;i<artboardRef.length;i++){
var top=artboardRef[i].artboardRect[1] ;
var left=artboardRef[i].artboardRect[0];
var width=artboardRef[i].artboardRect[2]-artboardRef[i].artboardRect[0];
var height=artboardRef[i].artboardRect[1]-artboardRef[i].artboardRect[3];
var rect = docRef.pathItems.rectangle (top, left, width, height);
rect.fillColor = rect.strokeColor = new NoColor();
}
how to fill an image with a gradient but I'd like to be able to change the angle. Is that possible?I'm using photoshop elements 12.I'd like the gradient to run from top to bottom instead of from top left to bottom right.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an object with a drop shadow. I want to rotate the object and the drop shadow 90 degrees. But when I rotate the object, the drop shadow does not rotate along with the object.
How to lock the drop shadow so that it will rotate with the object. p.s. I already know how to change the angle of the drop shadow.
I am trying to acheive the same angle gradient effect that can be done in Photoshop but in Illustrator. The actual thing I want to be able to create as a vector is the graphic attached...
Can this be done by somehow using the blend tool and replacing the spline with a circle?
when i change the angle of an object it effects the whole project, so if i have selected an circle and put the angle of a drop shadow to 90 degrees then i selected a recltangle and set drop shadow angle tp 120 degrees the circle will change to also be 120, does it always do this or am i just doing something wrong?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to challenge myself here, I want to create a copy of every gradient in the active document and give it an assigned name like "Batman 1" "Batman 2" ect.
I can add new gradients and set their stop colors ect but I can't figure out how to create a perfect copy of the gradient in the swatch library.
I've been looking and the only thing I found that comes close was an older script that's only compatibale with CS. In this they're copying EVERYTHING I just wanna stick to gradients at the moment. Here's the link: [URL]
I looked to this as an example of how to do something like this but since it wont work with CS6 I cant really experiment or tinker to figure out how it works.
Just a few hours ago i asked about identifying a gradients type (linaer vs radial) and thatnks to Carlos I'm set with that, but I can't find a way to access the Aspect Ratio of a gradient in javascript.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently using 2010 version of AutoCAD and I am having difficulties sorting out my angles.
I need to make a line of 25 at an angle of 150 degrees. Upon doing this it always goes the wrong direction to which I want the line to be facing.
I am following the following tutorial:[URL]....... I create a new page in Paint .Net and select the gradient tool. Once i have the page with the gradient colors i've chosen, i select the Line tool and create a wavy line.
The issue im having is fading out this line. The tutorial states "and fade out the far end with a linear transparent gradient" I cant find this tool or not sure what action to take.
When using 3D pattern, and specifying a negative angle for counter clockwise, with an angle less than 360 degrees ( eg, 90 degrees ) the pattern will be spread over 360 degrees anyway.
Also, the directions in the application are wrong. negative angles are for counterclockwise, not clockwise.
Workaround: Make all patterns clockwise, and reverse the direction of the axis around which it rotates. This will achieve the desired outcome.
I try to got an color gradient from the outer side to the inner side of this geometry
the problem : The bandwidth of the gradient should be more or less the same in all areas of the green geometry(means the whole spectrum of the colors). And the gradient has to go perpendicular from the outer to the inner side.
I used a linear gradient on a photo, published it to the web and the gradient is choppy. How do I make the gradient look smooth?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI am using Illustrator CS6. When I select an object and open the Move window (either by pressing the Enter key or selecting Object>Transform>Move), I try and move the object at a given angle and a given distance. I leave the Horizontal & Vertical dialogs blank and just fill in the information for the Distance and Angle. When I press OK (or Copy), nothing happens. In all previous versions of Illustrator, this feature worked perfectly. I can not get it to work in CS6.

I was using 2007 and I had an add on command the would rotate an object using a base point and picking the two lines that make up the angle, and it would match the angle you wanted. I can not get that command to load in 2011.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to rotate object along circle with special step angle. If i choose TRANSFORM i don't type special angle, but i can choose pivot point. I don't know how name this point, i name this pivot point, the point concerning which object rotates. And if i choose TRANSFORM OPTION i can type special angle, but i can't choose pivot point. More precisely, i don't know how do that. I choose object, then transform, set pivot and then open pivot option, type angle but object rotate around own pivot!!!
