CS6 how to use gradient Tool for outline

May 17, 2012 1:58 AM

Tags: #illustrator #adobe #tool #cs6

Hi!

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!

 

Please help me 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.

Regards!

    The gradient tool doesn't work on strokes.

    HI,

     

    In Illustrator CS6, you can definitely add a gradient to a stroke. Here's a very simple video tutorial: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-illustrator-cs6/gradients-on-strokes/? go=13268.

     

    In fact, to see the an amazing piece of artwork created using this new feature, see this short video (by Brenda Sutherland, Illustrator CS6 Product Manager) right up to the very end: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-design-center/adobe-illustrator-cs6-sn eak-peek-gradients-on-strokes/.

     

    Go on, check it out!

     

    Cheers,

    David
