Convert layout view to schematic view

Hi,

I would like to convert a layout view to schematic view.

All instances in the layout view have their schematic/layout/symbol views.

How should i do to convert the layout to schematic in virtuoso environment? Thanks.

    One approach could be to run LVS then import the extracted layout (cdl) netlist to generate a schematic. The LVS doesn't have to match so an dummy netlist/schematic will suffice.
