How to add Mechanical Symbol to Drill Chart?

AndresL

I have a mechanical symbol for a #4 hole non plated mounting hole.

After I'm done routing I added them by going to Place > Mechanical Symbol as needed and created the drill chart table. However, I can't see the mechanical holes on the chart, only the holes from vias or components.

How can I add the mechanical mounting holes to the drill chart?

    Make sure that the symbol has a padstack.  A padstack can be a mechanical drill (non-plated or plated) but it won't appear in the drill chart if no padstack is present.

    The mechanical symbol is a Padstack (defined as a mounting hole) with some silksckreen, but it still won't appear on the drill chart.

    I changed the padstack to be a mechanical hole instead of a mounting hole and that fixed my problem
