Importing CDL with parameterized cells

[NotAnotherFeynman]

Hi,

I am having some troubles importing an IP CDL where the standard gates like inverters and nor-gates use parameters for device widths and lengths.

Take for instance these snippets of a 2-input NOR and an inverter:

.SUBCKT nor2_1p8v A B SUB VDD VSS Y
NM1 Y B VSS VSS VDD SUB nch_1p8v m=1 length=nl width=nw
NM0 Y A VSS VSS VDD SUB nch_1p8v m=1 length=nl width=nw
PM1 Y B net7 VDD SUB pch_1p8v m=1 length=pl width=pw
PM0 net7 A VDD VDD SUB pch_1p8v m=1 length=pl width=pw
.ENDS

and

.SUBCKT inv_1p8v A SUB VDD VSS Y
NM1 Y A VSS VSS VDD SUB nch_1p8v m=1 length=nl width=nw
PM0 Y A VDD VDD SUB pch_1p8v m=1 length=pl width=pw
.ENDS

These cells are then instantiated in many other sub-blocks, very often with varying pw/pl/nw/ln, for instance:

.SUBCKT buf_1p8v A B SUB VDD VSS C
I1 net15 SUB VDD VSS B / inv_1p8v pw=2u pl=0.18u nw=1u nl=0.18u
I2 C A SUB VDD VSS net15 / nor2_1p8v pw=2u pl=0.18u nw=1u nl=0.18u
.ENDS

I can indeed import the CDL and do get the right devices and everything, but! Instead of seeing the device width (CDF = 'fw') or length (CDF = 'l') becoming pw/pl/nw/nl they become default values and just insert user properties that don't take any effect in the netlists whatsoever:

An initial and very simple fix could have been to open the few standard-cells that carry these parameters and just put pw/pl/nw/nl into the length and width of the devices, but all the schematic symbols don't contain the information about which particular inv_1p8v that should have say pw = 1u or pw = 2u and hence, one must also manually update all the symbols accordingly.

So I am quite a bit at a loss. Does anyone of you possibly know how to resolve this issue?

Best regards
