How can I create holes through a board in a footprint that don't

I've been using pads in the footprints to create mounting holes
and then I have to put dummy pins in the schematic component.
No, there is no particular reason to put those dummy pins in the
schematic symbol, unless you want the pins electrically connected. If
not in the schematic, the pads will have no net assigned (and DRC will
report an error if they are connected), the same as if they *are* in the
schematic with no net connected.
On the other hand, if you want them connected, they should be in the
schematic. Otherwise, even if you manually assign them the appropriate
net, it will be removed whenever you update the board.
