Smart Batch not working

Illustrator 2021 (25.0)
MacOS 10.15.3

I’ve been following the instructions as outlined here.

I have all my glyphs named, on separate layers. I also have all my guides named, on individual layers.

When I drag multiple glyphs—along with the baseline guide—onto the batch window, none of the glyph names are correctly named. It just shows the ‘null’ box.

I tried naming with a unicode value, but that also didn’t work.

Not sure what I’m doing wrong here. It seems like an easy process, so perhaps I’m missing something here.

TIA

Sounds like you named the layer, not the actual objects. Only object names are used for Smart Batch.

Yup. User error.

Thx.
