gradient on rotated text changes direction when converted to paths

[Ryszard_R]

Hi Adobe,

Im using ai 29.8 for Mac,

Noticed that rotated gradient on rotated text changes direction to default when converted to paths. Can you please have a look.

Hi @Ryszard_R,

Thanks for bringing this up. I'm checking this behavior with the product team. I'll share an update here as soon as I hear back from them.

Appreciate your patience in the meantime.

Hello @Ryszard_R,

Thanks for your patience. I was able to replicate this issue on my end, and we are currently investigating it with the product team. We will update this thread as we have more info.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or require assistance. We'd be happy to help.

Currently, applying gradient fills to live text only works with custom appearance attributes (additional fill).

Therefore it seems that using the Expand Appearance command (see Object menu) to convert the live text to paths is more reliable than using the Create Outlines command in this case.

Thank you for workaround Kurt, but lets wait for Abhishek news as imo creating outline should keep gradient direction.
