  1. Automatically make gradients by just selecting two or more colors

    Create a default gradient of two or more colors just by selecting them on the artwork or on the swatches panel without having to copy and paste the color codes separately.

    The latest Beta build 29.0.0.9 now allows us to create a gradient from selected swatches, using two ways:

    1. Select swatches you need (use Cmd/Ctrl to select several) and drag-n-drop them onto the gradient strip in Gradient panel.
    2. Select swatches you need and choose the new 'Gradient from Swatches Selection' command from the Swatches panel’s flyout menu.

    In both cases new gradient stops will be spread uniformly, using the current order of swatches in the panel (not the order of selection).

    If you have artwork selected in the document while doing this, the gradient will be automatically applied to it.

    Please try the feature and comment back.
