The schematic generated via spicein turns "VDD" port to "VDD!" automatically

Hello,

I am using IC6.15, and I try to import CDL into schematic. However, after importing, the ports "VDD" and "VSS" change to "VDD!"  "VSS!".

How to solve this problem? Here is an example of the netlist:

.SUBCKT XOR3XLM VDD VSS VNW VPW Y A B C
M10 VDD A nmin1 VNW pm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=5.8e-07
M2 net51 nmin2 nmin1 VNW pm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=5.8e-07
M0 net51 B net69 VNW pm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=4.8e-07
M16 VDD nmin1 net69 VNW pm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=4.8e-07
M12 VDD B nmin2 VNW pm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=2.3e-07
M14 VDD net51 net67 VNW pm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=2.5e-07
M1 net54 C net67 VNW pm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=2.5e-07
M3 net54 nmin3 net51 VNW pm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=5.7e-07
M8 VDD C nmin3 VNW pm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=3e-07
M18 VDD net54 Y VNW pm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=3.6e-07
M11 nmin1 A VSS VPW nm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=4.8e-07
M6 net51 B nmin1 VPW nm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=4.8e-07
M4 net51 nmin2 net69 VPW nm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=3.7e-07
M17 net69 nmin1 VSS VPW nm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=3.7e-07
M13 nmin2 B VSS VPW nm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=1.9e-07
M15 net67 net51 VSS VPW nm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=2.1e-07
M5 net54 nmin3 net67 VPW nm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=2.1e-07
M7 net54 C net51 VPW nm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=4.8e-07
M9 nmin3 C VSS VPW nm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=1.9e-07
M19 Y net54 VSS VPW nm_hp L=1.3e-07 W=1.8e-07
.ends XOR3XLM


Thank you.

    This is not the ideal solution, but it's a good work-around:

    Open up one of the schematics in your library and on the menu bar go to Edit -> Replace

    Search For -> netName == VDD!

    Replace With -> netName  VDD

    Search Scope -> library  [your lib name]

    should do the replacement for the entire library. Repeat for GND/VSS if necessary :)
