If you change the Positioning setting (the blue rectangle), the gradation strip will rotate automatically based on the position of the blue rectangle.

Symbol of a Standard Mark
on page 129,
You can use any type of art in the symbol, but only paths and compound paths will be colored.
If you will use any text in your Gradation Strip symbol, it will be automatically colored with darkest ink.
If you change the default Gradation Strip symbol, the default position will be based on the size of the symbol. If the width of the symbol is bigger than its height, the Gradation Strip will be created horizontally by default. If the height is bigger, the Gradation Strip will be created vertically by default.
