No, the first two sentences say it's about adding mounting holes to the
schematic. I don't know how I can make it any simpler. I explained
how to add a mounting hole to the schematic, how to optionally assign it
a part number for the screw, how to assign it a footprint (there are
loads to choose from in the Mounting Hole library, as others have said,
or you can make your own in a few seconds), and that you could
optionally connect it to, for example, chassis ground in the schematic.
Now when you go to the board layout and tell it to update from the
schematic, like any other component your mounting hole will appear,
ready for you to place it.
And /if/ you export the BOM, it will appear in the BOM. You don't have
to export the BOM, but it sure makes ordering components easier,
especially if you have the part numbers in it for the correct screws.
Regards,
Robert.
That text seems to be about adding screws to the BOM. I suppose I
just don't get the implications of what you wrote.
