It won't work on strokes.

Either way the gradient tool from the panel is working. I appreciate the feedback and happy to see that there are work arounds...

So the options you set up in the gradient panel work?

 

When asking in the forums please be precise, because that spares you a lot of headaches. In your initial question you were referring to the actual tool (from the tool panel), which was perfect. When referring to those panels from the Window menu, they are panels that have options and values and whatnot (only one of those also contains a tool).

 

In Illustrator there are some functions in the menu and some panels that have the same names as some tools. So referring to them precisely will get you an answer more quickly 🙂

 

Glad you could solve it!

@Oh.N8 because you have no fill? 

Add any colour to it, and apply the gradient to it.

@creative explorer Ya... I had stroke on instead of fill. Just learning how to use Illustrator. Thanks.
