Netlisting fails as symbol is not an instance. (RESOLVED)

I recieved an error, and it even told me how to fix it:

WARNING (OSSHNL-117): Ignoring switch view 'symbol' of cell 'pmos' in library '14soi', as it does not contain

any instance. To netlist this cell, add this switch view to the stop list or to

ignore any specific instance set the property 'nlAction' to value "ignore" on

this cell view. 

 

The result is a netlist that has nothing in it, and just the pins:

.subckt logic_uvt_inverter out lgnd lvdd in

*.PININFO out:O lgnd:B lvdd:B in:I 

.ends logic_uvt_inverter

 

So, I added "symbol" to my stop list and nothing changed.  How do I set the nlAction value?   Am I missing something?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Brian Degnan 

 

EDIT:  RESOLVED

In this case, the netlist was being done as digital instead of analog.  There's something in my last kit patch that changed the netlisting type after I set the variable.
