Illustrator will replace your entire gradient with the solid color you select. There are three ways to get around this problem: * use the color selection tools that show up when you double click the color stop * make a swatch of the colors you need, then after clicking the color stop, hold Alt and click on the swatch * after clicking the color stop, press "i" to enter eyedropper mode, then hold shift and click on any color - this can be in your artwork, or anywhere on any screen if you click and drag away from Illustrator docs/design/illustrator/gradient_color_selections.txt Last modified: 2012/09/12 16:23by 127.0.0.1
