As others have probably said, it is easy (in the PCB editor) to add
predefined mounting holes to the board as follows:
* Select 'Add Footprint' from the menu on the right-hand side
* Scroll to the 'MountingHole' library
* Select the desired footprint (i.e. 'MountingHole_2.2mm_M2') and click 'OK'
* Place the component as desired on the board, left-click to confirm
placement.
I also 'Lock' my mounting holes once placed to prevent them being moved
accidentally.

I didn't know that. I've never seen it, but now I will look for it.

Perhaps worth noting that there is also MountingHole footprint
library. You'll find a number of standard metric hole sizes already in
there..

Thank you. I can understand that.

The second paragraph is "Footprint pads".?? You just need to create a
single through-hole pad of the correct dimensions.
