cds_generic nmos extracting as 4-terminal

Using IC6.1.5-64b.500.9.  

Instantiating "nmos" (not "nmos4") symbol view from "cds_generic" library in which the model field is populated with "mod".  It extracts as  follows:

M6 (0 0 0 0) mod

The symbol view has only 3 terminals, and there are only 3 terminals in the pin list. There appears to be an error in the "spectre" view, which shows 4 terminals.  Only fix is to copy "symbol" and "spectre" views to an editable library and delete a terminal from the "spectre" view.  If this is indeed an error, can it be corrected in the next release?  If there is already an open ticket I appologize for not finding it.

 Thanks.

    Jack,

    I entirely understood that this was for discrete transistors - I was just explaining the most common usage.

    As I mentioned, feel free to contact customer support over this enhancement (it's more likely to get done if tied to a customer than if I ask for it - it allows us to tie together similar requests and get a better sense of the demand).

    And thanks for using the forums!

    Regards,

    Andrew
