connectivity-to-schematic and spice netlists

Hi,

I imported a spice netlist from Orcad using "Import>>>XL netlist". I
used this to get my XL connectivity and it works fine on a placed
layout. I tried using "Import>>>Netlist View"
(connectivity-to-schematic) and get the error (Could not open cell
"DESIGN1" view "netlist" in library "c025_test").

Can connectivity-to-schematic import a spice netlist into a physical
schematic? The manual doesn't list what type(s) of netlist it can use,
or how it will find which schematic symbols to use.

Thanks in Advance,
Tim

Below is my spice test netlist;

File->Import->CDL can do this - it now supports some (limited) device mapping.

There are plans to improve the parsing to be a little less CDL-specific. (CDL
is very SPICE-like).

Thanks Andrew,

That worked. I was able to get it to create a composer schematic.

Thanks Again,
Tim
