Hey dodger....welcome back.  Actually you are not doing anything wrong.  You are using 6, you select your object, add a 2d map to the group and you are not seeing it apply to the object?  Is that  your problem?

It should be working, are you in the advance field or simple filed when you are doing this? Not that it should matter.  Can you show us a pic of what you are doing?  Sharen
