how to add a param to a symbol? a macro symbol.

the simulation model our fundary applied is in subcircuit ways. if i wanna simulate in ADE, I need to give a param named "mc", that is the multiplier of transistors.

so i draw a symbol, and copy it to a HspiceD view, then i make a macro to simulate. at last i add a param named mc in CDF.

rusults: l can see the param mc in my schematic, but i can't get it in my netlist which get form HspiceD in ADE.

I need this in netlist: Xi1 d g s b HVN_S mc=2

but what i get is :     Xi1 d g s b HVN_S

I will be very very thankful to anyone who can help. Thank you very much!

    When editing the CDF (edit the Base CDF), go to the simulation information section, pick hspiceD as the simulator, and then add mc into the instParameters so that it knows to netlist this parameter.
