Gianni Becattini Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I am trying to do something that is very easy with AI. I need to draw electric wires (see attachment). With AD I am not able to make the gradient to follow the line but only to consider the line as shape (see attachment). Am I not capable or there is a limit in AD? Thanks and forgive me if the question is stupid. Quote More than 30 Macs, from 1984 Mac 512K Plus to 2020 iMac 27" i9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G13RL Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Hi @Gianni Becattini, 1/ You can create a brush. or 2/ Use the "Appearance" panel to add a second, finer stroke of the desired color to which you apply a Gaussian blur.

GarryP Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 As an alternative to the advice above you can set a small stroke size, add an Outline Effect to the curve, and set it to a Fill Style of Contour, see attached image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
