Adding drill holes

Mattski

I want to add a bunch of drill holes as a way to perforate a board between sections where it will be cut.  I am trying to figure out how to do so.

 The padstack designer doesn't let me save a padstack which is only a drill hole with no pads.  

 I  could draw a bunch of circles in the BoardGeometry->Ncroute_path layer, but I want it to be clear these holes to be routed, not drilled.

 What is the proper way to go about this?

     Oops, I mistyped there.  Yes, the holes are to be drilled, not routed.  

     So now that I have a padstack built like that, what is an easy way to add a bunch of them?  I have added a bunch by making a connect line, setting the top layer as both the active and alternate layer, then just go down a line double clicking.  I wish there was a way to just add them without a connect line though, but I can't find one.

     Thanks for you help!
