I need to create an SMA connector. The schematic symbol has 2 pins, signal and ground, but the layout has 5 pins, signal and 4 grounds.

Since the schematic symbol only has 2 pins, I'm not given the option of assigning pads 3-5. How to I force the extra PCB pads to ground?

Thanks.

At present there isn't a better way, but we're aware of the problem. It's been logged as one of the higher priority customer requested enhancements.

The way I get around this kind of thing is to redefine the schematic part with the extra pins, which I then connect to ground.

If there's a better way, though, it'd be good to know, as I think this way is cheating!
