Connecting mechanical pins to a ground plane

ddchar

My board design contains a couple of instances of an SMA connector.  The Capture part defines only the center signal pin.  The footprint has this pin and four mechanical pins.  The mechanical pins also provide the signal return connection and should be connected to the ground plane.  What is the best way to make these connections?  Do I need to edit the Capture part and add the ground pins or is there a way to associate these with the ground plane in Presto?  Thanks.
