Title: Gradient Fill on a Curve
Post by: Stefan on January 14, 2009, 04:16:42 PM
When using the fill action, I have attempted numerous ways to have the fill & fill highlight to follow the shape and not cut through it, I have attached a file in an attempt to demonstrate what I am trying to achieve. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate the assistance

2. Slice a wedge from a circular segment. Apply a gradient fill, then duplicate the segment.

It makes a lot more sense if you look at this illustration:
