via-fill.ulp not working

[jbthompson.eng]

Recently downloaded via-fill.ulp from Eagle's ULP Downloads section.

Hoping to use it for adding nicely spaced stitching vias on my pcb.

However, does not seem to work.

steps

1. created 2 layer board with ground pours on each layer

2. added some components and connected / routed

3. selected the via-fill.ulp and ran (with 200 mil spacing for GND net)

4. ulp notifies my that a via positioning script has been generated for me to run

5. I run the script and NOTHING happens / no vias added

Here is the ulp download from EAGLE

What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

I just tested it out and it does work. The thing is you need to have all your polygons processed before running it to make it work. I can see from your images that your polygons are still in outline so this will be your issue.

Best Regards,

Hi, ok I'll try your solution and get back to you, thanks!

Yup, you are correct, that worked! 

I think I tried that last time but Eagle was taking a while to generate the script and I thought it froze or crashed because of the ULP (tried several times and always looked like it froze).

I had to wait about 2 min for the scripts to generate. Maybe the ULP doc should mention that the user needs to have polygons filled and that the script can take up to 2 min?

Not working there. 

I make ratsnest before run the ULP. And the ULP generated vias in wrong places.
Is there another way to make a grid of Vias to connect the ground planes/layers/poligons?
