Hej wy6688

It is not possible to add mounting holes directly in Allegro PCB Editor. You will have to add these in the schematic and give them a footprint (symbol). The footprint should simply contain a mchanical through hole Pin.

allegro pcb cant add pad

you can directly put mounting holes into PCB you have to create the package of the mounting hole and save it into the library you are using.
then from place menu you can put the mounting hole by selecting the place by part option( i dont exactly remember the option as it has been a while since i used allegro).
but the process is similar you can try it.
i hope that it will sort out your problem

yes..u can directly place the mounting hole without creating it in the schematic by clicking place->manually->placement list->package symbol.......

it is also useful to place the fiducial in the board



thanks

You can even further add it to GND or other nets without Schematic, from logic menu.

So "No problemo Gringo" !
