schematic transfer between different versions

Hi,

I found somewhere that dbWriteSkill command can be used to generate .il extension file for a schematic. This .il extension file can be loaded back to other versions of virtuoso to get the schematics back in other versions. 

I ran the following commands in CIW to generate .il extension file for my schematic


cvId = dbOpenCellViewByType("myLib" "myPcell" "schematic")
dbWriteSkill(cvId "/tmp/dumpFile.il" "w" "6.1")

However, i don't know how to load back this dumpFile.il back in virtuoso as schematic. guidance required.
