Add positioning hole to symbol - Allegro/PCB Editor

Hi all,

I'm creating a footprint for a Camera Link connector (26 pin 3M MDR connector); I need to add some mounting and positioning holes. Should I define them as 'pins' and leave them as unplated drill holes? I'm sure there's a better way.

Thanks,

-Travis

    It looks like I need an UNSPEC pin, then to define the top copper layer for the lockstand solder pad outline. I'm trying to see how to do that, but have thus far failed.
