Gradient panel with Radial gradient selected
Reset gradients to defaults
After you select an object that has an altered gradient angle (or highlight), new
objects you draw will have the same settings. The fastest way to “re-zero” gradient
settings such as angles is to press the “<” key to apply a solid Fill. Then click on your
gradient swatch.
For linear gradients, you can also type a zero in the Angle field. Or, you can use the
Gradient panel to switch between Radial and Linear and then back again to reset a
custom angle without removing or relocating color stops.
Extra big gradient panel
A special feature of the Gradient panel is that you can make it extra
tall and wide, and the Gradient slider itself will increase in size, making it much
easier to design complex gradients.
Shortcut for last-used gradient
The shortcut key “>” applies the last-used gradient and its angle (“<”applies the last
used solid fill).
