Converting text to curves changes gradient

[jschor]

I set a gradient on a text (radial) and converted that text to curves. Affinity Designer changed the gradient after converting it to curves, it applies to gradient to each letter instead of the whole text. See attachments.

Is this a bug or should i have doen this in another way? First pic without curves second with curves.

Hi Jschor,

Welcome to the forums,

This because when the text is considered when object the radial gradient is spread out across it as though it is one object. When you convert the text to curves each letter becomes its own object. This means that the gradient is spread out across each letter individually which will make it appear different.

Thanks

Hi Callum, thanks for your reply. Can you tell me what i should do if i want to convert the text to curves but want the gradient as it was? Delete al the effects on the seperate elements and apply it on the group or something?

Hi Jschor,

If you select your text before it is curves and create a style from it then convert your text to curves and apply that style to the group of curves it should look how you want it to
