How to assign net name to mechanical PAD?

newstyle

For example, i should seperate the Die pad of Die bonding package components. 

I found the net files are based on the whole device, if I seperated them, I try to assign the net name on each PIN, but i got the message:  only component PINS can be assigned.

 Then how to assign net name to those seperated pins?  Supposed I can't update the schematic.

Thanks,

LJ

    oh, i see. my reply is from Net pin to be mechanical pin.

     Then, you need add part netlist, add a new part in this list, then you creat net name and assign.

    net name can only be assigned on component pins, so firstly make this mechanical part is a component.
