What do you want to do with these objects? What do you need them for?

I have just started to explore ogre... i didn't know that the 3ds exporter does not include dummy objects.

At least for me, dummy objects can be used to indicate the position and orientation of "attachment" slots, e.g. a "mech" game where you can customize the mech's arms, legs, attached weapons, etc.

You do that with bones. No need for tags.
