Graphics with a gradient taken from CC Library into Adobe XD display the gradient incorrectly.

I wish to create an object with a gradient in Illustrator, add it as a graphic in my CC Library, and take it from my CC Library into XD. However, when I place the Graphic in XD, the gradient is not visible, instead displaying a solid color. 

I am able to copy and paste the object directly from Illustrator into XD and the gradient works, but I would like to use the live update feature of the CC Library.

Hi Rishabh,

Thanks for getting back to me. Luckily, I updated XD to 31.0.12 this morning, which appears to have resolved the issue.

Hi. 

I still have this problem. Although I have the latest versions of Illustrator and Adobe XD.

This is a screenshot, taken from XD. I have placed a screenshot from my element/layer structure in Illustrator next to it. As you can see, the layer with the gradient is displayed as solid color when importet from the library, but works fine when I copy/paste the same element from my artboard in Illustrator directly to XD

 

This are the versions of Illustrator and XD:

Why is that?

Hi everyone,

 

unfortunately this problem still exists.

I tried several workarounds, but the second the graphic is imported from the library, the gradient is displayed wrong. Actually the gradient is there, but the way it is shown is incorrect. When zoomed in, the gradient is visible its just not mathcing to its original. I attached a few screens as well.

 

If I place the graphic via Copy + Paste it works, but I am working on a project where gradients are used pretty often on many icons so I would like to avoid placing all graphics as single elements.

 

 

macOS Big Sur 11.4

Illustrator v 25.3.1

XD v 41.1.12

 

If you need more information just let me know. 

 

Best Regards,

Dietrich

Hi there, 

 

Thanks for reaching out, we'll try our best to help you with it. Will it be possible for you to share some screenshot or a small video capturing the workflow and what exactly is happening at your end? We'll also need the version of Adobe XD and the operating system to reproduce this issue on our end.

 

We're here to help, just need more information.
