  @Boldline The size can be adjusted with the "Scale" field, and it will always be relative to the stroke width. The initial size (100%) is about 3x of the stroke width.

  @Raaskot These are text frame contents, I will make these optional.

  To add to the discussion, I am able to copy and paste webp images from my browsers on Windows 10. However when copying them from Firefox the transparency is pasted into vectorstyler as black. Copying from chrome preserves transparency as expected.

  Awesome, that's exactly what I was looking for. I didn't really think that the order of things in the appearance panel would matter, but in hindsight it absolutely does, especially when dealing with things like multiple strokes and fills. Thanks!

  @Boldline I think there is a conflict here between various constrains in the path editor. This might be a bug.

  @Pat Got it. The workaround for the repeater expand is to use first a Convert to Curves (to flatten the scaling) and then do the expand. I will fix this There is some bug with the PDF export of the blends (probably the gradient on stroke) I opened a bug on this also.

  @Boldline I didn't notice that you were using the Circular Bump in the Image Effects instead of the Shape Effects. Why not use the Circular Bump in the Shape Effects? In the Image Effects, you can use Rasterize

  @onno-r This is because the colors are blended in a non-linear form by default (to be similar to a gradient). I will solve this issue.

  @VectorStyler Make sense why they are non editable. But simply cannot find them on HD. Tried to lookup in the Library (and Application Support folder), but no show. I hoped It would make me understand the nature of the palettes better. I guess the palettes has been created with Dope Illustrator time ago. Have to investigate further ...

  @Pat I opened a bug on this one, to use the current color (and maybe width, but not all stroke attributes) The line color can be changed in Settings -> Indicator Style, but that maybe not suitable for this use case.

  @VectorStyler There is also room for optimization in the center color of the curve and the size of the anchor point. It looks quite strenuous if it is not this pure white background.

  @VectorStyler This worked. I had the "Align on Shape" activated. The circle(key object) was too small, your illustration help figure it out (The arc). Thank you!

  @VectorStyler In fact, the most common use of exporting AI format is for software that supports terminal devices. As long as it supports exporting AI format in lower versions, similar to CorelDraw, it would suffice. I have over a dozen devices that only require basic lines and minimal colors in AI format. Lower versions of AI format can cover the majority of practical application scenarios. This eliminates the need for additional software to convert the format again, making it much more convenient.

  @VectorStyler said in How best to handle gradients when exporting from VS to a different vector program: @Boldline Send me the VS file by email and I will try to replicate this issue. Could be a gradient exporting bug. When you are ready, if you need me to test an exported file in my version of Illustrator CS6, I'm happy to do that. just email it over and I'll let you know how it goes
