how to add mechanical drills or mounting holes to a footprint in allegro 16.6?

EuSV

How to add some mounting holes (or mechanical holes) on a connector footprint that previous exists, and requiries 2 more holes/drills for fixing connector to the board? 

I was trying drawing cercles and looking for "drill" propierty, but I don't find any trick for doing this with Allegro 16.6.

The only thing that I find is "add a pin" but doing this way it doesn't work for me; the update symbol gives me errors as Allegro considers them as real connector pins.

How do you do this type of drills?

    You need to add the "pin" as a "mechanical" pin.  Or just add it and then delete the pin number and it will become a part of the symbol and not have an electrical connection.
