    I thought it did not work too but the reason was I did not select the swatches. Before activating the script you need to select ungrouped objects and the swatches in swatches panel that you intend to use.

      .js works fine on a Mac too.

      I suspect grouped objects.

        great, thanks for posting your solution. Are you on mac? On Windows it worked with the script saved as js.

        By seeing the screen shot attached by @wkcalvin, it seems it is Windows 🙂

        Best regards

        hmm...it works fine here, tested both CC2019 and CC2020 on Windows 10.

         

        your rectangles aren't grouped right? other than that I don't see a reason for failing.

            we're unable to download your attached image. Can you repost it using the Inline image upload button? it's called "insert photos"
