To change the center point using the Fountain Fill dialog box

1. Select the object(s) with the Pick tool pre00039.gif.

2. Open the Fill tool flyout and click Fountain Fill pre00071.gif.

3. Choose the type of fountain fill you want from the Type list box. You can only choose a, radial, conical, or square fountain fill.

4. Type a value in the Horizontal box until the center of the fill is where you want it.

5. Type a value in the Vertical box until the center of the fill is where you want it.

Note

pre00002.gif Most fountain fills radiate from a point that appears in the center of the fill. Radial and square fountain fills progress in a series of concentric circles or squares, from the center of the object outward. Conical fountain fills progress in a circular path, from the center of the object outward. Linear fountain fills, however, do not have a center point.

Tip

pre00002.gif Repositioning the center point, so that it doesn't appear at the center of the object, allows you to alter the appearance of the fountain fill. Negative values shift the center to the left, positive values shift the center to the right.
