I just ran into this bug after learning about artboards. Kind of makes me wish I didn't learn about artboards and had separate documents instead. A pain but at least this wasn't an issue. Still experiencing the problem after the suggested fixes of trying both align with layers and not aligning with layers. We're trying to create a series of options for the client to use and duplicating artboards. When duplicated the gradients don't move. Sometimes when I move (without duplicating) an artboard the gradients move and sometimes they don't. They were all created as gradient layers.
@turkar Has there been any movement on this? As others have noted, the gradient issues are truly killing my workflow. I work in artboards with multiple gradients daily and everytime I open the file, they've moved into random positions, they don't export right and are just a headache.
I have created a document with 14 artboards to present design variations to a client. When I duplicate each artboard, the gradient copies over with it but positions itself randomly so I have to re-position them all. Then, when I go to export each image, the gradients mess up again and the exported image doesn't match the file. With so many people experiencing the same thing, why hasn't it been fixed? Surely copying a gradient from one artboard to another and retaining its position should be standard functionality?
This has been an issue for MONTHS if not YEARS. I Constantly have to copy my art boards into a new file and paste them, then proceed to export.
Let alone constantly trying to move them around to their original position only for them to not export correctly dispite in program display showing the gradient in the correct position.
I've resorted to just exporting the gradient I require in a new file, and pasting it into the project as an image.
Yes if you have to make changes to the gradient for something else you'll have to rexport it. But I'd advise getting all the ones you may need and putting them to one side of your project.
Adobe please fix this... Why are we all paying extortionate amount when its a basic ass feature GIMP or Canva can do with ease. Blows my mind.
I can't believe I've been dealing with this for so long! I went looking for a possible solution again and by chance found this post, from, believe it or not, a year ago.
Nothing has been resolved with this issue, which is a big one... The subscription is very expensive, but in my opinion, they are more focused on new features, AI, etc., rather than solving such a major problem. 🤔
