Text to Symbol generator (TSG) and how to convert .slib (liberty format from Synopsis)

I have 3 question regarding creating symbol in Cadence Virtuoso Schematic

.- I would like to create more complex symbol shape (ex: like with curves and straight lines for a NAND symbol) using TSG but i dont find any Cadence document describing such implementation (just pins arranment using pinLocSpec()).
How can i do it? Please give me some Cadence referenes if have.
.- In Synopsic Liberty format, they provide .slib file to describe about symbol shapes (NAND, NOR, NOT......). Is there any way to convert it ?

.- It seems Cadence does not have tool to convert from Symbol to Text ? (i dont find any so I assume it does not support such translation). In my opinion, it will be more convinient for desingers. Could you explain?
Regards,
Tommy

TSG can't generate symbols with curved lines (I wrote a utility many years ago which either used TSG or symbols from the sample library as a template; I can't share that code though because it was from before I worked for Cadence).

I'm not aware of there being anything to convert .slib to symbols. I saw a very old request for this, but nothing very recent.

I also do not believe we have a symbol to text generator.
