Aqeel,

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. It was very helpful. I was also having the same problem as others where the gradient or the text, or both, disappeared. But thanks to Mike Raynham, I realized that I had the “Move gradients (in fill or stroke) along with the objects” is turned OFF. I already solved my problem.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your knowledge.

Wow, great tutorial. I had not come across the clone feature before.

OK, it was my fault. I used duplicate (ctrl+D) instead of clone (Alt+D)

@Inknewbie When you make a clone, any changes made to the original reflects on the clone too, but if you change the clone, original object doesn't change. One possibility is that you may have moved the original object instead of the clone. Try changing the text in second object and see if it changes the first.

Great Tutorial!
If I understand the last step right, you can just change the text and the reflected text will be changed, too? For me, it doesn’t work (I cloned the text as described above) but the reflected text doesn’t change.
Any ideas to solve the problem?

Quite a few people have experienced the problem where mask simply reveals the text beneath, and the gradient disappears, or where both the text and the gradient disappear.

First, you must ensure that “Move gradients (in fill or stroke) along with the objects” is turned ON. This prevents the mask from disappearing, leaving just the text. See here:

Second, as mentioned in some other posts, you must use a solid gradient – ensure that neither stop is transparent. This prevents both the text and the gradient from disappearing when the mask is applied.
