Kittyrose Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Hi - I'm working in Affinity Designer and have an area of dots at the top of my document which I have made by using the vector brush and the dashed line controls, made up of several lines, which I have grouped. I want to apply a gradient fill to the dots, which I can do from the group-stroke flyout (not sure if that is correct termination!). But it applies the gradient from left to right (or reversed). I cant get it to apply the gradient from top to bottom which is what I want. I cant turn the group and resize it because of the way the dots have been made (there may be a better way but I'm very new to Designer and havent found one yet. If I apply the gradient and then use the fill tool the new gradient is applied to the spaces between the lines of dots, not the dots themselves. What am I doing wrong? Thank you - Caryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittyrose Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Its OK - I have just found the answer. Apply the gradient so it is left to right and then use the fill tool from bottom to top but first choose 'stroke' instead of the default 'fill' from the context menu on the toolbar. I was applying the gradient to the background not the dots! There's a lot to learn! Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
