Illustrator :: How To Move The Center Of The Gradient
Jun 25, 2012
I am rebuilding a raster logo in Illustrator and I'm having trouble getting my Gradient how I'd like it.
I have a radial gradient applied to an object, but I cannot figure out how to move the center of the gradient.
The gradient's center is aligned to the object's center. Can I move the gradient's origin, or possibly the objects center? I attached a screenshot for referance.
If I cannot adjust any obj/gradient centers, can I just create my gradient in PS and create a Clipping Mask?

I've got a circle with a radial gradient going from purple on the outside to white at the center (a grape). How do I get the white center to move someplace other than the center? It was easy in Freehand...

How do I fix gradients within an object so that they remain where they are when the object is cut using the intersect paths tool, instead of the gradient fill being redistributed to the new object?
Also, how do I use the colour picker tool to pick a discrete colour within an object filled within a gradient, rather than it selecting the whole gradient swatch?

I would like to divide the green leaves on the image below over the green object on the right so that the leaves create the shape of the lines. They have to fill the space of the green object at a similar shape as it is now.
I tried blend but since the leaves are grouped objects with gradient fills, but then this is the result.I need to divide the leaves along the green shape so they follow the shape.

I'm new to Illustrator and perhaps it's not the best software of CS6 Master for doing this, but:
I have a few (13) circles, they are connected with lines (one line from the centre of a circle to the centre of the next one, so 13 connecting lines). I need to move the circles around in order to create the appearance that suits me best, but I want the connecting ending to move together (see picture below). I need to do this often and get an immediate visual feedback. How do I do it? Am I using the wrong software altogether?

I was hoping to create a JS script to move objects away from common center based upon their current position. I was thinking to use a single selected path item as the center based on its position x/y and width/height. Using this reference point the script would then move away all other path items from this center point based on a desired amount and with uniform increments given their current location from this center. I was thinking cos and sin would be my friend in this case, however they seem to have become my foe instead. ;-)
Does this sound doable? What am I missing, doing wrong, misinterpreting? Below is a non-working attempt, I can't seem to sort things out, perhaps I was close and missed it or maybe I am super way off and its more complex than I thought. However at this point I am confused across my various failed attempts this only being one of them.
// Example failed code, nonworking concept
var docID = app.activeDocument;
var s0 = docID.selection[0];
pID = docID.pathItems;
var xn, yn;
var stepNum = 20;
[Code]....

I'm sure this is mind-numbingly obvious and I am overlooking it, but when I go to use the rotate tool, the center point of the rotation is defaulting to the center of the artboard, not the selected group of objects. How do I change that to default to rotating on the selection center by default?
PS. This is Illustrator CC (17.0.2) on a Mac running 10.9, if that is relevant.

I've created a button with a gradient overlay, but when I click and drag the button, the gradient overlay stays put, it won't move with the button. Is there an option I'm overlooking to anchor the gradient with the item I've created? I've never seen this before. I'm on Photoshop CC 14.0 on a Mac.

I'm using Gimp 2.8.4, Win8.
I also noticed the "Left Endpoint's Color" is not available.
I'm fairly familiar with Gimp in general, but never needed to get this deep editing gradients. Of course, if those sliders would move I could have figured out the rest...

When you zoom into the picture that's being edited, scrollbars appear but you can scroll only to the edge of the picture, pixel in pixel this way it's pretty hard to capture the edges with selection
How to add a free space to all sides so it will be possible to move edges of the picture to the center of the screen and work with them easily?

The move handles can be selected independently but when the snaps toggle is on the selection is locked to the center box handle. Rotate and scale gizmos are uneffected.

What happened to the option/enter command in the move object dialog that has been around since the early days of Illustrator??? Instead of having to mouse click the "copy" button in the move object window, one could just hold down option with Return or Enter and the Copy command would happen rather than a simple move. Immensely useful for prepress work!

We have a title block wherein the Location attribute is normally a single line, but occasionally is two or more lines. Within the title block this attribute is surrounded by lines, left, right, top, bottom.
We would like the bottom line to move down when the user adds additional lines to the attribute.

I have CS5. The bugs and broken features in AICS6, make it unusable in my workflow.
I am specifically concerned about the inability to drag global color swatches from the color panel to Gradient stops in the Gradient Panel. I use this method to update a gradient color because I find it MUCH faster than option-dragging to duplicate a stop color, then deleting the unused stop. Since I do this constantly, I find using CS6 very tedious.

I have opened several recent AI's from CS5.1 which included gradient fills. When CS6 opens them, the gradient fills turn up as embedded rasterized images.

I've encountered a problem when using simple gradients in Illustrator CS6 v v16.0 on the Creative Cloud. My gradients are not smooth, you can see vertical/horizontal delineations in color when in linear mode, and circular delineations when in radial mode. This seemed strange to me since this is vector based. The attached picture is an example of this problem, it's 18x24 at 300dpi. It also persists when I export/save the image. This problem is also present in Photoshop.

i'm in illustrator cs3, and even tho my stops in my gradeint are true black (it even shows true black on the stops), in the gradient itself, it's that horrible cmyk grey.
when trying to use blending modes and masks because it treats what's supposed to be black like the grey I'm getting, so things always look a little off. My document's in RGB mode and i havent found any other fixes...

I have a rectangle with a number of vertical gradients, what I would like is to add a gradient horizontally, to have the whole thing fade to white along the x-axis. Is there any way to do this?

I've used the Gradient Tool many, many times and I just now noticed this. I don't know if it's supposed to do this or not but I don't ever remember this happening before. As you can see when I use the linear setting and I change the angle to anything other than 0, the UI of the gradient gets much larger. This makes it difficult to edit especially when the angle is set to something like 45 degrees. The sliders are almost unreachable.

"This library cannot be used because it does not have enough solid color swatches. Gradients and patterns cannot be used." What does this error message mean when I am trying to use gradient swatches and how to do I stop it?

The logo is 2 objects which overlap at 2 points. The trick is that I want point A on object A to be on top of object B and point B on object B to be on top of object A. For the visual ones of us; make a Vulcan sign out of both hands, place the V's together so that the vertexes touch and then place both your palms flat. Your index and middle finger will be on top and also your pinky and ring finger of the other hand will be on top.
I can get this to work by making a 3rd layer (cutting the fingers off one hand) and placing them directly, but the objects are filled with a gradient and I cannot get the gradient of the hand to match correctly with the severed fingers. Compound paths will let me accomplish the correct gradient, but it screws up the layers.
Is there any way to have 2 objects on two different layers have the same (flowing, uninterupted) gradient? Unfortunately, a "close" color match isn't enough as when printed out, it's very obvious.

When printing a vector illustration in PDF format, my gradients that fade to 0% over a surface aren't coming out right. The gradient appears like a box with a hard edge, rather than fading away. It looks like this when viewing the file , but when printed I am getting this . (don't mind the color, it is a bad quality photo)
I am using an HP z5200 postscript printer.

I am a graphic designer I like to work hand and not numbers. The new version of Ai CS6 gradients can be given for strokes. Great!
How exactly I can do it with a convenient tool 'Gradient Tool'?
Does not respond to changes in drag when I try to use the mouse to outline?
In advertising and instructions CS6 somehow strange is described ... I do not understand. [URL]

I can't get the Gradient Annotator to show up. I select a shape w/a gradient, hit "G" nothing! I check under view and select "Show Gradient Annotator" nothing! I can use the gradient tool and pull a gradient and the annotator shows up during the action, but then dissappears when I'm done. Sometimes I can get it to show up if I back my view all the way out so I can see my entire artboard, but then when I zoomin closer it dissappears again. How can I get the Annotator to always show up when I use the tool. ( Mac-OS-10.8.5, Ai-CS 6)

I just dicovered the gradient stroke feature in illustrator CS6, the problem now is I can't get out of it. I am simply trying to apply a gradient within a shape, and it keeps only applying it to the stroke. If I try to add a gradient to a path that doesn't have a stroke, it will automaticallly add a stroke.
