I am trying to save a simple rectangle with a gradient fill to a stencil in Vision (2016), but the gradient won’t seem to save.
In fact, it seems somewhat arbitrary which formattings do get saved.
See below:
Both shapes are just rectangles with formatting (background gradients and/or beveling) – nothing else. The shapes labeled “original” are what I drew. I then dragged those onto a stencil, and dragged them back onto the sheet.
Both seem to have retained the shadowing. The top shape lost its gradient, while the bottom shape did not – but it did lose its 3D beveling.
What I have tried:
- This is all done in a theme-less design. I used the “Blank Drawing” template, and no theme was applied.
- I have tried protecting the shapes prior to adding them to the stencil. I went to Developer -> Protection, and selected everything short of being able to select and move the shape.
The only thing I could think of was that perhaps there is some limitation to the number of allowable gradient stops (I have quite a few), but that would be crazy – and the loss of beveling makes me think something else is going on.
