Virtuoso Spice In grouping instances

shredds

Hi,

I am trying to import a CDL netlist into virtuoso. I am able to succesfully import the design but it is very hard to read the design. Currently I see that instances which can be generally grouped as a bus are also expanded when I import it. For example suppose I have this in the cdl netlist

X1 A<1> VDD VSS B<1> mux

X2 A<2> VDD VSS B<2> mux

....

X100 A<100> VDD VSS B<100> mux

The import creates a different instance for each of these instances. If instead there was an option to make it a bus based instantiation it would make the schematic so much more readable and compact.t

Is there any option to do this? Either during import or I don't mind having to run a skill after as well.

Please help out here as I have too big a netlist.

Thanks,

Shraddha
