Fluid gaurd rings!!

I am trying to install fluid gaurd rings and I am getting the following error. Any help on this??

*WARNING* (TECH-280310): Can not display install guard ring form because no valid technology library was found.

Also, I have created a MPP. I wanted to add rodStrech handle operation to it so that I can strech it in vertical direction to get via's in rows (Usually MPP's has strech operation only in X -direction.  Trying to add strech operation in Y axis). I have looked into couple of posts and could not figure out the best suit for my requirement. Can any1 please add y axis strecth operation to my piece of code.

prog((tech techLibName techFileName)
 techLibName = "cmos045"
 techFileName = "tech.db"
 tech = techOpenTechFile(techLibName techFileName "r")
 if(tech==nil then
  return(nil)
 )
 ;The template name is : M2X_M3X

 leDefineMPPTemplate(
  ?techId  tech
  ?name  "M2X_M3X"
  ?layer  list("M2X" "drawing")
  ?width  0.130000
  ?choppable  nil
  ?endType  "truncate"
  ?beginExt  0.000000
  ?endExt  0.000000
  ?justification  "center"
  ?offset  0.000000
  ?encSubPath  list(
  list(
   ?layer  list("M3X" "drawing")
   ?enclosure  0.000000
   ?choppable nil
   ?beginOffset  0.000000
   ?endOffset  0.000000
   )
  )
  ?subRect  list(
  list(
   ?layer  list("VIA2X" "drawing")
   ?width  0.070000
   ?length  0.070000
   ?choppable  t
   ?sep  0.000000
   ?justification  "center"
   ?space  0.090000
   ?beginOffset  -0.030000
   ?endOffset  -0.030000
   ?beginSegOffset  0.000000
   ?endSegOffset  0.000000
   ?gap  "distribute"
   )
  )
 ) ; end of leDefineMPPTemplate procedure
) ; end of prog in ASCII file

Thanks,

Bharath.

    Hi Derek,

               I remember doing it for paths which has rodStrechHandle functions attached to it. If they have these rod functions attached, we can strech in Y direction also.

    As for as fluid gaurd rings is concerend, I do have a writable tech library. Still I am not sure why I am getting this error.

    Thanks,

    Bharath.
