Adding "symbol" that is not in schematic

TH Designs

I made a mechanical symbol to represent a daughter board that will mount to my board. Simple rectangle with four mounting holes.

How do I get this symbol onto the circuit board? I have been through all of the menus in Editor and can't find anything that will allow me to bring a mechanical symbol into the board.

    You need to set your psm path preference to look at the folder containing both the .dra and the .psm  This is under Setup - User Preferences - Paths - Library - psmpath   Add the folder containing the .dra and .psm to the list of paths.  You can then use Place - Manually - Mechanical Symbols to add the symbol.  You may have to go into "Advanced Settings" and select "Library" under "List construction" first.
