Thank you. I will try that.

Ho John,
the problem is that you are doing it wrong. Mounting holes are
components, not pads. So you need to click on the component
properties, and uncheck the "visible" flag on the "reference"
field. I hope this helps.
The mounting holes are not in the
schematic, any more than the mounting holes for the
potentiometer are. Those mounting holes have pads, of
course and are called MH1 and MH2. But I see no way of
changing the 'REF**' text for the mounting holes in the
PCB. In the Pad Properties pane, the Pad Type is NPTH
mechanical and the Pad number field is greyed out.
There are footprints for Mounting
holes, but no symbols. That seems to indicate that
symbols are not required.

Do the mounting holes exist in your schematic, or did you
just try to add them onto the PCB? If the latter, that's
why the reference hasn't been updated: it's because they
are not in the netlist. If you double-click on the
mounting hole (in pcb), you will get the footprint
properties dialogue; just manually change REF** to
something like MP1, MP2, MP3, etc. "Update from schematic"
will always tell you they aren't used because they aren't
in the schematic. I have a personal "Mounting_Point"
library with schematic symbols for holes and mounting
points, with and without grounding connections. That's
your issue - there is no mounting point or hole schematic
symbol that I can see in the standard schematic symbol
libraries.

I'm in trouble again. I
added four mounting holes to my board and the
come with? text 'REF**'. Update PCB describes
them as 'unused' and proposes to delete them,
which is obviously wrong. I can't find a way
to change REF** to something else. Please
advise.
