     Hi,

     

    what you are trying to do is very complex i think using skill - especially if you have a lot of components.  Did you think abouthow you are going to manage flatten pcells? with your approach, it will be very tough using skill.

    anyway, one idea could be: 

    If you have a layout, and if you use a verification tool, why don't you create a netlist from the layout directly (possible with Calibre, i don't know with Assura) 

    Once you have the spice netlist with all the parameters and the connections, just do a cdl in or a spice in in virtuoso.

     

    Then you have a schematic =) 

    good luck.
