Have a "lock" option for the gradient annotator, to transform objects without affecting gradients
The gradient annotator adjusts itself when you also adjust the object bigger. I would like for there to be an option where I can have the gradient annotator lock in place while I stretch an object bigger. When I am working on a file that has a gradient to the edge of the artboard but has no bleed, this instance is where this option would be super helpful.

At the moment this can be solved with the Gradiator plugin panel by Astute Graphics, like the attached GIF shows. Requires two clicks, but works exactly as expected.

Oh, I like this one

Absolutely. Being able to also lock the gradient to an object so that it doesn't change when using the shape builder tool would be an amazing time saving feature

I have customers that do not give enough bleed and their artwork ends. Normally I would just change the shape to where I need the bleed to be. However, most of my customers use gradients in their shapes. If I change the shape of these objects, it changes the gradients. So I end up having to mirror the shape on all sides and place a mask over it.
It would be a lot easier and time saving if I can edit shapes that have gradients but have the gradients stay the way the are.
