Hi Greg,

I tested your script, but if does not work for me.
- first issue:
  It uses 'F.cu' to find a widgets. However the copper layers names are user defined.
  the actual name is board.GetLayerName( pcbnew.F_Cu )
- second issue: it looks for 'Grid'.
  but Kicad is internationalized, so this keyword is not found in non English countries (consider
using wxGetTranslation())
- third issue: see attached image.

Thanks.
